The concept of what constitutes a family has changed a great deal in recent years. Families, have a unique role in influencing a child’s feelings of self worth, their confidence and their ability to form healthy relationships. Parents are the primary caregivers and guides and have the majority influence on their child’s development. However, parenting does not come with an instruction manual. Parenting can be extremely rewarding, enlightening and enjoyable. It can also be demanding, frustrating and exhausting.
