It Takes a Village: Why Community Support Matters in Parenting
You know that old saying, “It takes a village to raise a child”? There’s a reason that phrase has stood the test of time. Parenting is a remarkable journey filled with joy, growth, and challenges. As parents, we want the best for our children and strive to provide them with love, guidance, and support. However, the truth is, raising children is not meant to be done alone. In earlier times, the whole village used to come together to support the upbringing of its children. In today’s world, our families often feel isolated, lacking the community support that can make a significant difference in the lives of both parents and children. In this blog post, we’ll explore why community support matters in parenting and how we can try to rebuild that village support system in the modern world.
