Parenting Toddlers Article Prompts
Take an idea below, modify it, change, it, or expand on it. But whatever you do, don’t stop until you turn it into a 500 to 1,000 word
article geared towards helping parents raise happy, healthy toddlers. Write a how-to article for a parenting magazine. (Remember to
cite your sources.)
- How do you know it’s time to potty train your toddler?
- What are some creative ways to make potty training more fun?
- How can you get past those “terrible twos” without losing your mind?
- Will a “mommy and me” program really help my child and I bond?
- Childproofing your home for the new walker in the family.
- What is a time out, why should I use one and what are the different time out methods used around the world?
- What are the pros and cons to spanking my toddler?
- How does diverting my child from a destructive behavior work better than yelling, scolding, or spanking?
- How can I handle my child’s newfound love for throwing temper tantrums in public?
- I’d like to set limits with my toddler so he/she knows the “rules” in this family. What’s the best way to approach this?
- I’ve read how important it is to have a set structure in my child’s life but I don’t really know what “structure” is or when it’s
time to adjust that “structure” to my child’s growing needs. Can you help?
- What is positive reinforcement, how does it help a child, and can you give some examples?
- My toddler hates eating vegetables, what can I do to help him/her enjoy vegetables?
- My toddler hates eating meat, what can I do to help him/her get the proper protein he/she needs?
- My toddler likes to throw his/her food all over the kitchen. In fact, more of the food ends up on the floor and his/her clothes than
it does in his/her mouth. What can I do to put an end to this?
- Is it better to keep a regular meal time or let my toddler tell me when he/she is hungry and then feed him/her?
- I really want a date night with my spouse, but I’m afraid to leave my toddler with a babysitter? How do I know I picked the right
babysitter? What should I be looking for? Should I instill a spy camera device?
- When should I take my toddler to the doctor, the dentist, or the chiropractor? What should I look for in a physician, dentist, or
chiropractor?
- How do I know when my toddler is ready for a “BIG CHILD” bed?
- When my toddler is ready for a “BIG KIDS” room, what should I look for when it comes to furniture, window dressing, and electronics?
- My toddler likes to run away from me when we are in public. I get scared that he/she may become lost in the crowd or kidnapped. How
can I stop him/her from running away from me?
- Which toys are best for toddlers and why?
- How can I help my toddler learn the alphabet and counting?
- How can I teach my toddler to be cautious of strangers without making him/her feel that the world is a big, bad place?
- How can I help my toddler get to know his/her grandparents when they live 2,000 miles away?
- How can I select age-appropriate movies for my toddler?
- How can I select age-appropriate books for my toddler?
- How can I select age-appropriate games for my toddler?
(Especially ones I’d want to play again and again and again!)
- What kind of crafts can I do with my toddler?
- How can I keep a diary of all my toddler’s firsts?
Bonus Round:
- Practice interviewing. Call a few colleagues, friends, or family members and ask questions related to the theme of your choice. Then
weave the article around the quotes.
- Talk to a health professional or child expert, and let him/her know that you don’t have an assignment yet, but you will pitch the article to
target-appropriate magazines.
