Bookmark-worthy websites for parents

If Facebook isn’t enough . . .

Parents Connect
https://www.parentsconnect.com/

Sure, everyone likes Facebook, but it doesn’t exactly offer a wealth of information for parents. Parents Connect allows you to communicate with other parents and talk to them about issues that are important to you—pregnancy, potty training, bullying, teen behavior. The site, which is run by Nickelodeon, also offers tips on family finance, relationships, food and more.
