Hi, I’m Kashmala.
Mum. Writer. Researcher.
I’m an Australian mum of three who turned a 3am parenting crisis into a mission — to give every parent honest, science-backed guidance they can actually use.
“I write every article the way I needed to read it — at 3am in Australia, completely overwhelmed, just trying to be a good mum to three kids.”— Kashmala Tariq, Founder of ParentingAll
Why I Started ParentingAll
I’m Kashmala — an Australian mum of three with over 10 years of hands-on parenting experience. My children have taught me more than any book ever could, but books matter too. That’s where ParentingAll began.
One night, after a particularly rough day with my kids, I went looking for real answers online. What I found was either buried in academic journals I couldn’t understand, or feel-good posts with no practical substance. Nobody was writing for the real, exhausted parent at the kitchen table at 7pm.
So I became that writer. I started ParentingAll to be the resource I always needed — honest, research-backed, and written with warmth rather than judgment. Based here in Australia and raising three children of my own, every article I write is grounded in lived experience as much as research.
“My three kids are my greatest teachers. They’ve shown me that no parenting style is perfect — but an informed, loving parent is the most powerful thing a child can have.”
— Kashmala TariqToday ParentingAll is read by families across Australia, South Asia, and the English-speaking world. Every article is researched from peer-reviewed sources and written to be genuinely useful — not just reassuring.
Started the most challenging, rewarding journey of my life — raising children in Australia and discovering how little straightforward parenting guidance existed.
Launched the blog to fill the gap I experienced — honest, science-backed parenting guidance written in plain language real parents can actually use.
Grew entirely through organic search and real reader recommendations. Parents in Australia, Pakistan, India, and the UK started sharing the articles.
ParentingAll continues to grow as one of the trusted English-language parenting resources in Australia and South Asia — with readers in the UK and North America too.
Continuing to expand the library — new parenting guides, legal resources, and honest product reviews published regularly, always written as one mum to another.

My Values as a Writer & a Mum
These four values guide every word I write — as a founder and as a mum of three.
Evidence-Based
Every article is grounded in peer-reviewed research — not trends, opinions, or viral tips from social media.
No Judgment
Every loving parent is doing their best. No shame, no comparisons, no “you’re doing it wrong” — ever.
Honest Always
When I use affiliate links I say so. When I’m uncertain I say so. Honesty is more valuable than appearing perfect.
Australian & Global
Written from Australia for families worldwide — inclusive, diverse, and respectful of every family’s unique context.
To make parenting

ParentingAll exists because every parent — whether you’re raising children in Sydney, Lahore, or London — deserves access to honest, science-backed guidance delivered with warmth. I am not here to tell you the one right way to parent. I am here to give you the information to find your own.
