Fifty-two low-income parents were surveyed to determine attitudes toward parenting and help seeking. Although a majority agreed that most parents, even "good" parents, need help or advice about parenting and thought they would seek help with parenting, low-income parents were less likely to believe in or seek out help than those with higher incomes. The most frequently selected sources of help were family, books and videos, telephone help-lines, and friends. The least likely sources of help were child protective services, school personnel, clergy, and social service/counseling agencies. Parent support and education groups were likely sources of support for only one in four low-income parents.
对52位低收入父母进行了调查，以确定他们对育儿和寻求帮助的态度。尽管大多数人认为大多数父母，甚至是“好”父母，在育儿方面都需要帮助或建议，并且认为自己会寻求育儿方面的帮助，但与高收入父母相比，低收入父母不太可能相信或寻求帮助。最常被选择的帮助来源是家人、书籍和视频、电话求助热线以及朋友。最不可能的帮助来源是儿童保护服务机构、学校工作人员、神职人员以及社会服务/咨询机构。父母支持和教育团体可能只是四分之一低收入父母的支持来源。
