Parents' greatest concern is for their child's education, according to a survey released to mark Parents' Week on 22 to 28 October. The survey, 'Listening to Parents: their worries, their solutions', by the National Family and Parenting Institute, also found that parents worried about their children growing up too fast, not spending enough time with them and not being able to provide for them. While parents found the teenage years more difficult, families with children aged under five were twice as likely to be targeted by services as families of those aged five to ten, and three times as likely to be targeted as families of children aged 11 to 15, the survey said. Most parents turn to families and friends for parenting help but also playgroups, schools and doctors' surgeries.
