The Year’s Best Parenting Tips

When I started my blog, I had next-to-no idea my writing would evolve into posting parenting tips. Initially, my vision was healthy recipes and activities on a simple budget.

My blog stats began dictating I move away from my original concept. And so, I began writing parenting articles and tips more and let go of recipes altogether..

This shift made sense because my heart resides in my kids. Even before becoming a mom, so many of my decisions were rooted in the dream of one day having kids.

I took the babysitting course as soon as I was allowed to, became a high school peer counsellor, studied developmental psychology in University, and volunteered as a Big Sister through Big Brothers and Big Sisters all with the idea of one day becoming a mom.

Despite all of this, when tabulating my blog views for 2015, I was quite surprised at how successful my parenting tips were. I don’t think this in any way indicates my mastery of parenting skills.

Simply it shows, all of us experience similar problems and can profit in what each of us has to say. I’ve been so grateful to have such amazing parents share their own tips either in my posts, or in the comments below.

This week, I have joined many other bloggers lead by Jennifer Hughes of the Jenny Evolution in sharing our best parenting posts of the year.

4. PLANNING AND PARENTING FOR TWO UNDER TWO

Raising two children so close together in age has been the most arduous and rewarding endeavour imaginable. I wrote this post with such a sense of pride, nostalgia, and sleeplessness. I hope many are able to find the same amount of joy (and hopefully way more sleep) than I did. See the post here, or pin it for later by clicking here.

Night wetting is a much more common issue than most might think. Moms weigh in with all sorts of tips, insights, and words of encouragement on toddler and kid night-wetting. Includes a sponsored review and giveaway for IllumiBowl

    There are days I still miss my kiddos’ naps… but once we were able to give them up, a whole new world opened up for us as well.. we were finally really able to get out of the house!

    Thanks for participating in today’s Parenting Tips series on The Jenny Evolution and for being a part of our online parenting community.

Hi! I'm Alana. When I'm not nursing cold, stale coffee, I usually can be found with the baby on my hip, barefoot, and racing after my two older kids. Thanks to a degree in psychology and a free-range childhood backing onto an expansive evergreen forest, positive parenting and play-based learning are my passions. Read more here.

On my facebook page, this weekend, I posted an ima On my facebook page, this weekend, I posted an image of Kamala Harris with her quote, "While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last, because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities." The intent was to honour the first female to be the projected vice president in the United States.

It evoked a slew of opposing opinions, backlash and emotion. 

I received several comments that I should stick to parenting and not post political content on my page. So I wanted to make something clear. 

Parenting is political. 

Many of the articles on this page are based on how to raise children who embody the parents' values. Our values are reflected in policy and politics throughout all of our countries.

The majority of this page centres on are the rights of children to live in peaceful, respectful homes where discipline is to teach and not to hit or hurt them.

The content of this page also reflects equitable education and the developmentally appropriate treatment of children.

I believe in celebrating childhood. 

From time-to-time page also focuses on the wellbeing of marginalized groups because children deserve to see their race,  gender, and sexual orientation represented and protected in the world. Equally, each child should feel their parents have a respected place in society regardless of their skin colour, sexual orientation, country of origin, or marital status.

All of that said, this page welcomes competing ideas and differing belief systems. I am of the firm belief that liberal and conservative beliefs are important and deserve representation. 

If you aren't comfortable with this stance, you are welcome to unfollow. 

If you'd like to stay, thank you.
