The best Facebook groups for parents of toddlers

Facebook groups for toddler parenting advice

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.

Toddler not eating? Here are tips to encourage better eating habits

Your toddler will go through many phases as they hit developmental milestones, and sometimes turning their nose up at foods they once loved is one of those phases. Even if you started with a super-easy baby who eats everything you give them, toddlers have a mind of their own. Suddenly, you have a child who won't eat anything other than goldfish crackers, chicken nuggets, and Cheez-Its. Toddlers don't get a bad rap for nothing. The terrible twos and "threenager" years have earned their titles because these are the stages of development when children master the word "no."

One of the main ways toddlers exert their newfound independence is by refusing to eat anything that they previously loved. It's an incredibly frustrating time for parents, but having a toddler who suddenly won't eat isn't the end of the world. It's actually common, and in some cases, completely normal. Here are a few ideas and tips if your toddler won't eat and what to do if you have concerns.

Potty training is a huge milestone for both the child and the parent. The child gains confidence and independence, not being labeled as a baby in diapers anymore, and getting to use the bathroom like a big kid is a huge deal. For parents, the milestone of not having to change diapers anymore — and not having to buy diapers anymore — might bring out a little happy dance.

But sometimes, milestones hit a bump in the road. If your child has been potty trained, but you notice a slip in their progress all of a sudden, you could have a case of potty training regression on your hands. Here's what that looks like and how you can get your child back in the swing of things.
