For those of us working in the field of supporting parents, or are parents ourselves, this book contains plenty of food for thought. The author indicates that all parents need support, and looks at the best way to ensure this happens. The idea that it takes a village to raise a child is key, so putting effective support networks in place and building communities where parents feel safe and no longer feel alone is an important starting point.
This book not only touches on the big issues that shape policy, but also some equally important, more specific issues. Readers are encouraged to consider what happens when a community of parents have built up trust in a support worker, who then moves on. Also, how do we engage parents effectively without making them feel that they are not good enough?
