It is important that whilst families and adults are able to carry their own value systems to guide and direct the way they chose to parent, supports, resources and suggestions are available to parents in order for them to make informed decisions about how they guide their children through childhood. Effective parenting skills, just like other skills within the community, are not inborn and natural. Attending parenting courses, reading books, talking with others are all important issues. At times, this may lead to feeling confused about what to do. In the end, parents and carers need to feel they have thought about a range of options and then make some informed choices about what to do. When parenting seems to become too difficult or extra challenging at times, (which is quite normal), seeking the support of professionals trained to work alongside parents is very important.
