Text: Parents shared strategies with one another: “Take 5 minutes, breathe and then go back to what needs to be done.” “Ask a question why he’s crying or why he’s mad.” Parents became more open to others’ advice: “In the beginning, I need to keep him close… But now I need to let him go and let others give me advice… now I am more willing… to take it.” “I sit back more freely and take what people say that applies to [my daughter].” Parents connected on a deeper level: “We’re a sisterhood, a family.” “[After my grandmother passed], I needed support and I received it when I was away; they took care of my children. It opened my eyes; it’s not just about blood relations.”
