There is no question that having a support system makes confronting the challenges of being a parent much more manageable.

Parents can connect with one another on their digital devices and receive advice on topics ranging from the best places to visit in a city to cybersafety tips. Many moms and dads also blog about their struggles and provide comfort to parents undergoing similar challenges. And often, these bloggers will offer freebies or discounts on products.

One great way to keep up with these online conversations is through hashtags. Hashtags are words or phrases beginning with a # sign that are found on social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and are used to categorize content. Following hashtags is a great way to participate in conversations online and stay on top of the latest opportunities for your child or family.
