Is there anything harder, more exhausting, or more incredible and rewarding than being a parent? It’s the toughest job we have, and the best. The responsibility of nurturing a child from a tiny infant to a grown adult is a huge one. At times, most parents need some help dealing with the many challenges of childrearing, from disciplining a toddler to guiding a teen who is just starting to date. If you are a noncustodial parent, a grandparent raising a grandchild, a stepparent, or a single parent, then there may be additional complexities to your role.

Many of us also have to balance caring for our children with our roles as spouses and partners. This can be tricky, since we never want to neglect one in favor of the other, but there are ways to nurture and care for all these important relationships.
