Featured Site: Parent Hacks
Earlier today, I Googled my way to a very interesting parent site, parenthacks.com.
Parent Hacks is a collaborative weblog that collects parents’ tips, recommendations, workarounds, and bits of wisdom – their hacks – in a single pot so we can all partake. Here’s the stuff that would have been left out of the instruction manual…if there were one. We’re not experts in the pediatrician-, psychologist-, or teacher- sense. We’re just out there, raising our kids, finding the little tweaks that make this crazy adventure go a little more smoothly.
Basically, this could be described as a knowledge management site for parents. We have all learned about parenting from trial and error, usually more of the latter… This site allows parents to share their findings with each other. Here are some recent topics:
- Restroom hand dryer also blow-dries wet underpants
- Baby monitors work in adjoining hotel rooms
- Poker chips: raw material for creative play
- Dixie cup “telephone” allows parents to talk over sleeping kid
- Turn to YouTube for toddler entertainment
