The Realities of Parenting in Northern Ireland

The 'Big Parenting Survey' was a first of its kind study.  Parenting NI wanted to get the real, unvarnished experiences and thoughts of parents from across Northern Ireland, so they sought out the views of people from a broad spectrum of ages, geographical locations, communities and genders, and invited them to share their experiences in their own words.  The outcome was an astoundingly direct and challenging response from a diverse range of 1,191 parents.  These people talked about their hopes for their children, their fears and concerns, their views on society and more.  The survey reflected the experience of parents who were coping well, as well as those near breaking point.  Read the report at: www.parentingni.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Big-Parenting-Survey-Findings-2018-Final-compressed.pdf
