r/Parenting is a subreddit with 8.3M members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and solution requests, and the community frequently discusses parenting, book recommendation, parental controls, car seat, and parenting challenges, and they frequently recommend/review board games, ipad games, and parenting books.
Please go over the rules before posting! r/Parenting is a place to discuss the ins and out as well as ups and downs of child-rearing. From the early stages of pregnancy to when your teenagers are finally ready to leave the nest (even if they don't want to) we're here to help you through this crazy thing called parenting.
Get advice on potty training, talk about breastfeeding, discuss how to get your baby to sleep, or ask if that one weird thing your kid does is normal.
