Online Communities for Parents
Online communities for parents are plentiful- just google “due date” and you’ll find yourself starting to connect.
People find support networks through blogs, yahoo groups, bulletin boards and microblog platforms like Twitter.
Online groups can provide parents who are in similar situations, or who have already navigated the rocky terrain you face. Hearing that other parents have been there and survived, even getting their helpful tips, can make a challenging situation less difficult. Having a safe place to vent about the frustrations of parenthood, to ask, “is this normal?” and to witness other people’s triumphs can be both validating and educational.
Right now, we’re exploring over at Twittermoms. Join us, or post your favorite online community here, or let us know how you use your online support options.
