Abstract
With the growth in political awareness of the value and importance of appropriate parenting, work in this area has grown rapidly in the last five years. Not least, community health practitioners have been involved in a variety of specific parenting support initiatives that have taken various forms. Simultaneously there has been an earnest plea for health visitors to return back to population approaches for supporting health, and community development strategies are often cited as the means for achieving such goals. This paper explores how the practice of parenting support, can complement community development approaches for improving the health of whole communities and identifies a clear role for community practitioners
