Short-form videos make it reel-y easy to learn about different topics, hacks and trends – all presented in a quick and confident way online.
However, when it comes to parenting info, you’re looking for content that’s truly trustworthy (because switching your baby to solids is a lot more serious than seeing which dance is hot on TikTok).
For this reason, you’ll be happy to see that the Raising Children Network has just launched a series of videos that provide evidence-backed answers to common parenting conundrums.
All the episodes are based on up-to-date Raising Children Network content, and there are actually not one, but three, video series to watch.
You’ll find them on the Raising Children Network’s YouTube channel, with new episodes dropping each week.
And these series are designed to be engaging and educational (aka totally parent-friendly).
The first series is called Scroll Busters, and it’s all about giving you the facts you need.
Each Scroll Busters episode covers one big parenting milestone, like baby sleep changes between 6 and 12 months, and it answers four on-topic questions, with practical tips included.
Each question is answered in less than 60 seconds, which is greatly appreciated when you’re super busy, seriously sleep-deprived, or both!
The second series – Show Me, Don’t Tell Me – provides practical demos for families just like yours.
Show Me, Don’t Tell Me is hosted by a dad called Aaron Pereira, and each episode takes you through a parenting basic, like starting first foods or settling a baby in your arms, with Aaron providing three essential how-tos.
And last but not least, Late Night Notes is a parenting podcast that answers all those questions that are keeping you up at night!
The Late Night Notes podcast is hosted by journo, author and mum-of-four, Madeleine Grummett.
And with input from an after-hours expert, Madeleine will rest your mind with helpful advice, like how to spot signs that your baby needs help settling down for sleep.
All these parent-friendly videos were developed by Matterworks, with a funding boost from the federal government, and with around 85% of parents and carers looking for parenting info online, these trusted videos will make parent life a lot easier.
So, have a look at the three series, as well as the Raising Children Network website.
