Practice Implications
- Look for the strengths and positive qualities
of families (and how they can be reinforced), not just for their
weaknesses
- Explore practical ways of reducing the
pressures on the family from environmental threats so lightening
the parental load
- Be ready to respond to early signs of
stress instead of waiting for a crisis to occur
- Ensure that parents have access to independent,
informed and sympathetic advice whenever issues relating to parental
responsibilities and the care of the children arise
