Your job as a parent is one of the most difficult, it can be both challenging and rewarding. Every family is different and there is no one perfect way to bring up a child.
Good parenting involves caring for a child’s basic needs, keeping them safe, showing affection and love and helping them develop and achieve their potential. Children thrive best in a stable environment where they experience consistent guidance and boundaries.
If and when you need support, asking for help is seen as a sign of being a responsible parent. It is often the way difficulties are handled that can make a difference to your children, both now and in the future.
