Confident Parents, Confident Kids “merits the attention of anyone working in social, emotional and character development who wants a place to send parents for ideas and advice and dialogue.”

Eager to reflect on how what you are learning professionally about advancing children’s and/or teen’s development along with essential life skills?

We hope you’ll consider writing an article for Confident Parents, Confident Kids! All authors must have credentials/experience in education and/or psychology with background in child or adolescent development and be actively parenting in your own home. A diverse range of perspectives is encouraged. Articles must align with the research base.

The site enjoys daily visitors from 152 countries around the world and a follow-ship of more than 24,000. Help initiate important dialogue making the connection between parenting at each age and stage and your children’s (and your own!) development. 

If interested, please email confidentparentsconfidentkids@gmail.com with the subject line: “Article Idea from an Educator!” Please include your idea (parenting opportunity/challenge), how it connects to a life skill building opportunity (in your child and yourself!), and the ages/stages of children you are writing about. Also, please include a short bio or resume.

You can learn more here: https://confidentparentsconfidentkids.org/invitation-for-articles/. All proposed ideas are due by January 29, 2026. We’ll review and get back to you on whether you’ll be published this winter/spring by February 5, 2025.

We hope you’ll join our parent-led community of practice by contributing! We are so excited to learn from how you are bringing to life the science of child and adolescent development to benefit your children in your own personal parenting!

All the best,
