PARENTING DILEMMAS: FINDING SUPPORT ONLINE
The role of being a parent is full of trials and tribulations. The good times are great, but the bad times can make you feel frustrated and lonely.
Friendly advice: to take it or not?
Confiding in friends and family about problems at home is not always the best thing to do. These are ongoing relationships that you've spent years nurturing and introducing a problem can throw the dynamics of a good friendship way off course.
Moreover, seeking solutions to your parenting dilemmas from your immediate circle of friends may not always be the best thing to do because friends and family cannot always provide the advice you really need. Our friends and family, as much as they love us, cannot always be objective about the dilemmas in our lives.
Whether you are a parent with special needs, a single parent, or just an average parent going through a rough time, the decision to seek help on the Internet is a good one because the Internet provides two important things: accurate
and anonymous advice.
Online options: easy and safe
Start off with a search for "parent support group". Parent support groups introduce parents who are facing similar challenges and problems in their lives. Online parent support groups are comfortable meeting places where you can share problems and solutions and offer encouragement and support to each other. Accessing parent support groups online is a good way to seek help because you are in the comfort of your own home. You don't have to dress up and put on a brave face. You can sit in your pajamas and deal with your problem in a safe environment.
