Check Out This Blog Moms


       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.
