Child Development: Parenting
Support Networks
Who to go to?
Every parent can benefit from a support network, to help guide them in bringing up their child. Traditionally family (parents, grandparents) have provided most of the support. Nowadays with more parents having children later in life, and trying to juggle work and brining up a child, help and advice can come from many different sources. Here are some of the places you can look for assistance.
- family, friends, neighbors
- parenting groups
- online forums
- medical staff (family doctor, health care nurse)
