'Abandoned' parents say they need more support
Scottish parents feel abandoned and would like more advice on how to raise their children, according to a new study. The Mori poll of more than 1200 parents found two out of five would like more support, and showed that parents are stressed over alcohol and drug abuse, how to exercise discipline, and how to help children achieve in education.Some 46% of parents polled said the government has "a poor understanding" of the challenges facing parents.
The poll was carried out for Parenting Across Scotland (PAS), the umbrella group for support organisations including Children 1st, Relate Scotland, Capability Scotland and Stepfamily Scotland.
