The family has no substitute as the premier institution for socialization, personal growth and development. It must therefore be provided with the support it deserves to fulfill this important function. Families must be equipped with good child rearing practices and principles and should be made aware of existing child rights that are beneficial to the development of children.

This publication documents real life stories of selected African parents, shedding light on the multifaceted challenges parents are faced with and the kind of support they need to bring about behavioral change and enhanced capacity.
