Parenting

Being a parent is a huge privilege and a demanding role, all tied up in one. The category of Parenting features articles to encourage and equip parents in every season and from every walk of life –from mom of teens and toddlers to working and stay-at-home moms — as well as tips, hacks, inspiration, and resources in Dallas that every parent needs to know about.

Dallas Moms publishes original, personal stories and advice from local moms, as well as relevant and fun information for those of us in the trenches of parenthood.

Every article published via Dallas Moms — whether someone from our in-house team, a guest writer, or a sponsored writer — uses their words to reflect their own opinions, experiences, and beliefs. No singular post or collection of posts represents the opinions, beliefs, or agenda of Dallas Moms.

As parents, we start hearing about bedtime routines the moment our child arrives. I’m here to tell you that they are important!  It is not just a “fluff” word in parenting. Bedtime routines are cueing systems to the brain and...
In the early days of my TikTok consumption, I didn’t talk about it much. I, like many, assumed it was an app “for the young kids”. Turns out there are over 1 BILLION videos views on the TikTok tag...
When is the last time you were asked on a date? How did it make you feel? Knowing someone wants to spend time with you and know you better is flattering and exciting! We know dating is important in...
I have a love/hate relationship with YouTube. Love the endless supply of free, high-quality educational content for my kids. Hate the app’s autoplay feature, which allows the app to continually feed algorithmically curated videos to my kids until someone (me) shuts...
Are you exhausted from spending hours laying with your toddler, rubbing their back until they’re asleep, only to find them standing in the doorway to your bedroom two hours later? Did the crib to bed transition prove to be an...
If you live in Texas, “BBQ” can be used as a verb or a noun. For me and my family, when we get invited to a barbecue, we take that to mean you will be serving some juicy, smoked...
