- Talk over difficult choices with people you trust. Friends and relatives may have helpful ideas, or ask for advice from a professional such as your health visitor or school nurse.
- Contact a helpline.
- If your child is adopted, you may want to seek support from a group that specializes in your situation, such as after adoption.
- Seek out parents with children the same age as yours. You'll find you're not alone. Playgroups and parenting groups are good places to meet others. Look in your local newspaper, ask your health visitor or at school for information on local groups.
- Trust your instincts. Don't feel you have to take advice that feels wrong for you and your family. Talk through your feelings with a friend or a professional, but learn to trust your own judgments.
