Parenting has always been a challenging part of having children and many parents are very desirous of doing the best things for their children.
People are also very aware that what they do can influence the sustainability and length of a relationship and whether it remains enjoyable and pleasant or is a continual strain.
There are many magazines on the market that deal with parenting and they often refer to stages of development in a child and may be geared for new born babies – how to parent them, toddlers – what to do when the tantrums start, young children with whom the balance of discipline and love has to be carefully balanced and then those difficult teenage years to deal with and the challenge to enable them to become meaningful adults.
There are also magazines that give advice when the wheels fall off the bus, not only with parenting but in relationships themselves.
