To mom and dad

Holding your cute bundle of joy is the most wonderful feeling in the world. But bringing up your child to become a responsible citizen of this society is itself a huge responsibility. And even though, parenting has seen an enormous transition, but at the end of the day, being parents still remains a tough job. This is where Parent Report comes to the rescue.

The Parent Report is one website which is exclusively related to the intricacies of parenting. Here, you can find information related to bringing up children in forms of articles and radio shows and participate in forums as well.

An important section of this website is ‘Resources’. It is divided in a way that you can either access resources by topics, or by the age group in which your child happens to be. Major topics include behaviour, development, sleep, education, nutrition and travel. The different age groups constitute new-born, infant, toddler, pre-school, early school, pre-teen and teenagers.

Within each section are articles, excerpts from the relevant books and radio shows. If you have a good internet connection, you can easily plug in the headset and listen to the shows. All relevant topics are covered here: the section on behaviour, mainly deals with video game addiction, depression among teenagers and learning and attention disorders; the section on nutrition covers breast feeding, dealing with obese children, and maintaining health during the teen years. The family life section provides help on travelling with kids.

If you prefer, you can access the section on radio shows directly from the home page. Hosted by broadcast journalist, Joanne Wilson, the show features advice from professionals, doctors and specialists on various aspects of parenting. Some of the topics which have been covered on previous shows include communication with teenagers, listening to children, socialisation and much more.

The various forums are the places where you can discuss your concerns and issues with parents from around the world. Some of the more popular topics include sibling rivalry, special children and coping with a newborn baby. You can also subscribe to the newsletter if you want to be informed of new content on the website.

And finally, the website features a comprehensive link that leads to more web-spots on parenting. So, if you feel you have not found what you are looking for, you can always visit the section and see if you can find something relevant.

Even a decade ago, very few people would have thought of logging on to the net to glean information on parenting. Today, more and more parents and parents to-be look towards the internet for anything that would help them in bringing up their child. The Parent Report is just one of the websites which are useful in this regard.
