50 Best Child Psychology Blogs

Parenting Research · June 24, 2019

{Our parenting journey often involves a lot of questions about how to make the best decisions for our children. These are some of the best child psychology blogs I’ve found to help discover research-based insights.}

When most of us started on our parenting journey, we had no idea how much we would rely upon child psychology blogs to inform and inspire us.

For many of us, child psychology blogs, parenting blogs, and other online resources guide us through the ups and downs of parenting as much as physical books. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite blogs to share as a resource for those of us who strive to make informed, intentional parenting decisions.

Although opinions from friends and family can be helpful in making parenting decisions, it’s equally helpful to turn to the research that is presented in these blogs. While opinions can pull us in many different directions, good quality child psychology research can inform us in an objective way that opinions cannot provide.
