Take 5 for Positive Parenting Being a parent is one of the most rewarding - and challenging - jobs of our lives. When the stress and exhaustion of parenting puts you at your wits end, take five deep breaths. Take five steps back. Or make a five-minute phone call to get the support you need. At the Connecticut Childrens Trust Fund, we understand the difficulties of parenting. Since 1997, the Childrens Trust Fund has helped Connecticuts parents develop nurturing relationships with their children and improve their own lives through community programs and support networks. Take five minutes to check out the parenting resources, tips and program information on this Web site. Those five minutes could change your and your childs life for the better.
Tip: Stressed? Look at difficult parenting situations as oppurtunities instead of problems. Ask yourself 'What will this teach me about myself or others?' Tip: Rather than worry about a problem, focus on the solution. What can you do to make it better?
