There are a million things that influence ones parenting decisions. Things like politics, natural disasters, celebrity news, and Pinterest trends have shown to majorly impact how we raise our children.

To be honest, it can be a little overwhelming. To keep your 2018 parenthood anxiety to a minimum, I am here to package all the important trends this coming year will have to offer into a tiny, very manageable bite-sized little morsel.
Here are 5 trends you can expect to be hotter than the sun in 2018. Everything else can probably be ignored or forgotten.
1. Lots of parenting advice in books and articles dealing with boundaries and harassment. Ending the year with countless sexual assault allegations from some pretty major celebrities like Matt Lauer, Al Franken, and Harvey Weinstein has parents of young boys and girls reeling. How the heck do we teach our girls not to put up with this garbage" And, how do we teach our young boys not to turn out to be complete douchebags who take advantage of women" Personally, I have no idea, but I am sure there will be plenty advice from experts floating around this next year.
2. At least one technological device promising to revolutionize parenting. While most kids these days seem to be toting their own iPads, iPhones, and i-whatevers, the truth (from the experts) is that there is still a major gap between what the tech industry is pumping out for parents and what parents actually need.
