The best Facebook groups for parents of toddlers

Facebook groups for toddler parenting advice

By

Raising a toddler isn’t always a walk in the park, so getting parenting advice from your extended “village” can make you feel less isolated and give you new ideas on how to approach parenting those complicated little kids. Facebook groups are the perfect place to connect with thousands of other parents to use as a sounding board for advice on issues like potty training in a way that one opinion on Google or from the pediatrician can’t provide.

Whether you’re looking for new activities, searching for language development advice, or wanting help on an issue specific to your child, these Facebook groups for toddlers are worth clicking the “Join” button.

Who doesn't want a puppy? Puppies are adorable and cuddly, which is why most people, including kids, want one. Ask many parents, though, and they probably don't share that desire. The main reason is that parents know their children. Kids say they will take the pup for a walk and clean up when there's a mess. The reality is the exact opposite, though.

Even when the puppy wants to play, sometimes the kiddos want to be doing their thing. So, parents hesitate, not because they're not dog lovers.

It can be a bit of a conundrum since having a pet is a wonderful experience for children with a lot of benefits.

Look for clues to tell when your baby will start walking

First things first — there are markers to watch out for to know your baby is about to walk. If you keep an eye on that little human of yours, they give hints as to when they're ready to start walking. By then, you can obsessively watch them so you don't miss a step.
