Parenting little kids is taxing. In fact, it sometimes seems like you can do little else but provide for the little life you're wrangling.

So while you're desperately trying to get dinner done, fold laundry for the 3rd time that day, or trying to sneak in a naptime, you can listen.

It's a great way to get information, entertainment, and advice without having to search endlessly online. You can listen at your convenience and have direct access even on your phone!

1. StoryNory

Whether you're in the car and want some audio entertainment, or are trying to get your kids away from screens, this is a great podcast. The stories are entertaining for both child and adult and can be a way to even spark interest in books at a young age!

Focused on kids ages 0-5 it's all about the little things you can do while your child is still young. Plus, it's a positive spin on troubleshooting parenting little ones. From figuring out how to have a more peaceful home by not yelling or handling meltdowns more easily to communicating better and teaching them life skills, there's a bit of everything.

It's a brand new podcast, but with a line-up of amazing guests, it's sure to be a family favorite.

3. Little Kids, Big Questions

Especially for first time parents of babies, this is an excellent podcast to have in your back pocket for when you have questions and want expert advice. They cover topics on everything from sleep to surviving a fussy baby.

Produced by Zero to Three, that's the exact age range that it targets. It's not like talking to your best friend so not something you'll probably listen to all the time, but a reference guide of sorts in audio form!

4. Brains On!

By the title, I can almost guarantee it's not what you'll expect.

In fact, it's a music podcast. Not only is it fun music for your kids to listen and dance to, but there are also educational concepts in the music. They make playlists geared around Indie Music and even try to include music that associates with current holidays.

It's just a fun playlist to have on hand!
