Abstract
This booklet is one in a series on Parenting Positively. Parenting is a very rewarding job but one which can be difficult at times, especially when parents are faced with challenging situations. The aim of this series is to provide information and guidance to parents of children between the ages of 6 and 12 to help create a positive, loving and supportive relationship between you and your child. The series covers general parenting skills as well as complex life issues such as bullying, bereavement, separation, parental drug and alcohol problems, and domestic abuse. There are booklets for parents outlining children’s understanding of the particular issue and how you can support them. There are also booklets for parents to read with their children, which may help your child to better understand what is happening and help you as a parent to answer any questions they might have. Each booklet also gives further resources that you can follow up for more information and help on the issue covered
