Parenting can be an emotionally charged subject. How can I make sure that the support group stays grounded and doesn get too overwhelming for parents?
Parents need to know that strong emotional responses are perfectly natural and should be expected, since parenting concerns hit very close to home. Try to focus the support group on parenting issues and solutions. Let parents know they do not have to share their personal experiences if they are not comfortable doing so. They have the right to share their personal experiences if they choose and the right to have their confidentiality respected by the group.
