Parenting is the
most important and challenging job that most adults
undertake
Few parents, even in the best circumstances,
do not feel frustrated at times by the demands of
raising children. But when parents are isolated,
involved in difficult relationships, experiencing
financial stress, or lacking information on child
development and child-rearing techniques, they can
lose control.
Informed, effective child rearing builds strong
communities by producing young people who work hard
to create positive lives for themselves and those
around them.Uninformed, ineffective child rearing
jeopardizes the well-being of whole communities.
Parent Support Services is a non-profit, volunteer-based
society and registered charity founded in 1974.
The mandate is preventing child abuse and promoting
healthy parent-child relationships by supporting
parenting, families, and communities. This is achieved
by providing support and information to parents.
The goal is building healthy communities, one family
at a time. |
