Millennial parents seek support online when it comes to raising children
Implications - The phrase "it takes a village to raise a child" now rings even more true and is even more relevant as a new generation of parents turns to peers online to seek advice. As is the case with Millennials' purchasing decisions, Millennial parents are reviewing, researching, and contributing to their own and others' parenting styles online. This shows that Millennials will adhere to old habits as they age, prompting adaptability, not transformation, from brands they use.
