Practical Parenting Advice Review

practicalparent.org.uk

Practical Parenting Advice is a fun and colorful site run by Psychologist Andy Gill and contains resources for both parents and professionals regarding child behavior and development and family relationships. The company is a non-profit, but there are items for sale on the site.

On the site users can purchase an at-home 5 week parenting course applicable to children aged 2 to 7; the course includes professional support and research-based methods regarding behavioral difficulties like defiance and temper tantrums.

There are plenty of free resources on the site as well, such as parenting advice tips on topic such as understanding child behavior, building trust, and protecting self-esteem.  A free newsletter is also available to subscribers.

A parenting message and discussion board provides a forum to discuss parenting issues with other parents, and there is an extensive list of links to other sites related to parenting issues, from baby clothing to school choices to summer fun for children.  Users can rate or add links here.

Because the company is located in the UK, the section that offers information on discounted travel to family-friendly destinations may or may not prove useful, but there is also a selection of discounted family- and parenting-focused books available for order online in conjunction with Amazon UK.

Users can search the site via Google search, and the fun and colorful graphics make the site visually appealing and easy to navigate.
