40 Charts About Parenting That Are As Fascinating As They Are Informative

I have multiple kids, which means I’m constantly putting out fires I didn’t know existed. Someone’s always crying about something, someone else is mad because their sibling breathed too loud, and I’m just trying to remember if anyone ate vegetables today.

Parenting is a lot of winging it and hoping for the best, but every now and then I stumble across something that actually helps—usually a chart or infographic that breaks down whatever chaos I’m currently dealing with.

Sleep schedules, chore systems, how to get a toddler to eat literally anything—turns out people have made guides for all of it.

Some of these parenting charts are genuinely useful. Others are just funny because they confirm that everyone else is struggling too.
Either way, they beat reading another article that tells me to “stay calm” when my kids are losing their minds over whose turn it is to pick the TV show.
