Family Care

When You Feel Alone in Parenting—We’re Here

 

Parenthood is beautiful—but let’s be honest, it can also feel incredibly lonely. Especially when you’re in a new country, away from your family, holding your first baby in your arms and wondering if you’re doing everything right.

I still remember a moment that moved me deeply. While working with children, a mother came to me with worry in her eyes. Her baby had a cough, fever, and diarrhea—and she looked exhausted, scared, and unsure. She said, “We’re from Italy… my husband and I just moved here. Our families are far away. We don’t know anyone. We don’t know what to do. Can you please help us?”

She wasn’t just looking for advice. She was looking for someone who cared. Someone who would listen, understand, and say, “You’re not alone.”

And that wasn’t the only time. So many parents have come to us—confused about biting, worried about language delays, unsure how to handle big emotions in tiny bodies. Every story reminded us how isolating parenting can feel, and how powerful just one kind, informed response can be.

That’s why we created familycare@elekidz.ca—a space built out of love, empathy, and understanding. It’s not just an inbox. It’s a lifeline for those moments when you’re too tired to Google, too stressed to decide, and too alone to carry it all yourself.

Write to us. Share your questions, worries, or even your wins. Whether you’re facing sleepless nights, tantrums, or just need to feel heard—we’re here, like a friend who gets it. As professionals who have worked with hundreds of children and families, we promise to respond with care, compassion, and solutions that truly help.

Because no parent should ever feel like they have to figure it all out on their own. And with us—you don’t have to.
