Welcome back to Caffeinated Chaos! Today, we're diving into something every parent has likely done: turning to social media for parenting advice. From 3 AM Google searches to TikTok tips on tantrums, social media has become the go-to resource for quick parenting solutions. But with endless opinions and the risk of judgment, how do we navigate this space without losing our minds?
In this episode, I share:
- Why it's okay to seek advice online — but how to avoid feeling judged or overwhelmed.
- Four actionable tips to help you navigate the sea of parenting content, including how to vet your sources, set boundaries, and take advice that aligns with your parenting style.
- Practical tools and strategies like parenting books, local support groups, and creating a curated list of advice to avoid decision fatigue.
- The importance of following influencers who uplift rather than judge, and knowing when to hit "unfollow."
Social media is a helpful tool, but remember, no one knows your child better than you. Trust your instincts, Parentpreneurs!
