Bringing up a child, even if you have an extensive support network around you, can be tough. Even the best-behaved child who has no additional needs can frustrate parents from time to time. Therefore, parents need to be aware of their own limits and to seek help where it is appropriate. Parents who think that they are alone in finding parenting hard occasionally can feel they are doing something wrong, which may make the problem worse. Acceptance of tough times – along with good ones – goes a long way to putting parents back on the right track.
