London, Jan 12 (IANS) By telling the women during her visit to a family centre mothers that parenting is tough, the Duchess of Cambridge on Wednesday praised the efforts of mothers with emotional issues who have turned their lives around.
Kate Middleton heard the stories of women who have battled problems like depression or difficult upbringings during a visit to a specialist unit run by the Anna Freud Centre for Children and Families, The Telegraph reported.
For the past five years, the centre's early years parenting unit in Holloway, North London, has been supporting families who are at risk of their children being taken into care.
The Duchess met mothers who had completed its intensive treatment programme and paid tribute to women telling them "parenting is tough".
She said despite the experiences that have witnessed, she found it extraordinary how they have managed actually, "so really well done".
The unit typically sees a parent who has lived through an abusive childhood and whose child, aged under five, is at risk of being taken into care.
