There are many blogs out there that parents, teachers and
the occasional professional post about parenting preschoolers, a topic that is
very popular considering that it can be so challenging and any outside advice
is welcome. As I was searching the web
for blogs about parenting preschoolers I was quite surprised to find that there
are not that many blogs that align well with research or even have research
involved in them at all. With that said
I tried a different approach, rather than having the opinion that only blogs
with research are valid, I decided to focus on the other side, blogs without
research since they seem to be the most prevalent. As I first started searching and reading
through blogs and their posts and observing which blogs have lots of followers
and commenting readers, I noticed that the research aspect of things is not the
important part, at least in the subject of parenting preschoolers. It is the experience part that is intriguing
and the most important to parents who are looking for advice in this
department. I came across a blog by the
name of A Mom With A Lesson Plan, as
I started to read I found lots of great advice and wanted to share this blog
with all of you, since we are all curious and interested in the years of
parenting preschoolers.
The author of this blog is a mother who has a boy who she
describes as ‘strong-willed,’ which whom of us who have preschool aged children
or work with them cannot relate with that? She writes about her experiences
with her young boy, she talks about activities that she has done with her boy,
she provides examples of both activities that her child has liked and some that
he has not. This is a great blog if you
are looking for advice from a mother who is very involved in her child’s life,
she provides activities that promote growth and mental development. This blog
does not provide any proof of research nor uses theory but that is not
important if you are looking for an easy read that can benefit you. She describes activities and gives you the
step my step process with pictures included, simple to follow and fun
activities too. Her way of writing is very intriguing and the blog is full of
pictures, fun facts and great topics of writing. Other than activities, she provides
information about similar things that we have written about, bedtime routines,
discipline and other topics as well.
Give it a shot you will really enjoy this blog, even if you aren’t a
parent, maybe you are just curious in preschoolers, this is great to read about
life as a parent of a preschooler.
