If you’re a new parent, or one who’s feeling older by the minute, there are blogs out there to make you laugh, cry and re-evaluate your parenting practices – but finding the best of the best can take more time than the average parent has to spare, so we’ve rounded up five of the most insightful to share with you:

1 – Bringing up Charlie is a blog written by a Dad – and while the blogosphere seems totally dominated by the superlative yummy mummys of mumsnet etc, there are Dad world’s out there too, and Tim, father of Charlie, shows how the world looks from the father-zone.

2 – Bullying UK is a website that helps both those being bullied and those who bully. It offers resources to parents and to children, so it’s a great place to bookmark and leave for your child to explore on their own, as well as browsing yourself to discover more about the modern forms of cyber-bullying that may be a mystery to you.

3 – Build a Better Bento looks like a specialist forum for those using the Japanese lunchbox called a bento, but parents of picky kids will find this a constant source of inspiration and advice (as well as of healthy eating tips) when trying to put together a lunch that will be eaten without tears or threats.  And it may even lead you to buy a bento box or two just to try out the octodog!

4 – Not the easiest site to navigate but still one of the oldest and best for the single parent – Gingerbread has been campaigning for, advising and supporting single parent families since 1918 and still has some of the best links and ideas for those bringing up a child alone.

5 – Holiday with baby does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s a guide to baby friendly holiday resorts and destinations. While there are plenty of places that claim to be child-friendly, many are not baby friendly and some of those that say they like children turn out to be less than well-organised or well-disposed to little people and this site helps parents to choose the right destination and to benefit from a vast range of tips and ideas that help the parents of babies and toddlers to travel serenely and holiday happily.
