Mum shares 'important' reason for tying ribbons around buggies and handbags

A mum has gone viral on social media after coming up with an inspiring way of letting other fellow parents know when you're in need of a listening ear. Although it's an incredibly rewarding experience, parenting isn't without its challenges and sometimes it feels like it can all get a bit too much.

You might find yourself feeling lonely and desperate for someone to talk to and get advice from, but may be unsure about where to turn for this. But one woman has devised a simple signal for lonely parents to find someone who understands what they're going through - and all you need is a piece of ribbon.

The Mirror reports that in her her moment of need, psychotherapist and mum-of-three Anna Mathur couldn't find anyone to help or talk to about it. So inspiration struck and she came up with an idea to support fellow parents out there, who aren't sure who they can turn to - and she's since sparked a wonderful initiative that has gone viral on social media.
