Answer:
A Good Doctor: Having a supportive doctor who listens can make all the difference to a family. Find one that is knowledgeable at giving referrals to specialists for matters they can’t deal with, can see you quickly when problems arise, and can offer help with difficult problems from sleep disturbances to challenging behaviors.
Establish Good Home/School Communication: During the school years, a child spends a good part of their day at school so it is important to know what is going on. Keep communication lines open between parents and teachers. Remain calm when things go wrong and try not to assign blame. Work as a team on issues that arise.
Volunteer: Another great way to meet people and create another sense of community. Volunteer opportunities are available through organizations, sports groups, churches and community events. Read your local community circular or recreation centre brochure to find out where volunteers are needed.
