My friend, Garry Conn and his wife Angie, are about to bring their 4^th child into the world. In honor of this occasion, I’m going to give you some writing prompts centered around new babies. These prompts, as with all prompts on this site, are free to use in anyway you see fit. If you do use our prompts, and are published, feel free to send us a link and we’ll be more than happy to show your work off to the rest of the world.

1.) Write a guide for new fathers. Discuss all the things that they’re about to go through, things to watch out for, and mention a few of the things that the Parenting magazines don’t tell you.

2.) Review a few of the websites out there that cater to new parents. Tell which ones offer the best information, have the best forums and message boards, and which ones hold the best product reviews.

3.) Write a report about the different parenting customs from around the world. Research various countries and tell your readers about the differences and similarities between their customs and those in your culture.

4.) Write an article about the different trends in naming children throughout the ages. What were inspirations for the chosen names, which names were popular in the past that are no longer in use, and which ones are making a comeback.

5.) Put together an educational guide for children about how to deal with a new baby in the house. Offer ways for parents to have older children help out with the new baby, without feeling left out.

Happy Writing!!!
