[quote=Anonymous]We found our village when our child was about 4 and we could schedule more play dates. We did not have a lot of help during the baby/toddler years. We were just fine and so was our son. DS is in second grade now and we have 4-5 families that I would call for help in a heart beat. Neither one of us is a huge joiner or are overly religious so we had not built a huge community. We had some friends from softball that I am pretty sure would have been there if I had put out a call for help but we never tested that. If there had been a serious problem when DS was a baby/toddler, his Grandparents would have come to help. This is less of an option now as one is no longer able to travel easily and one passed away. But now we have the group of people from Cub Scouts and other kids he has made friends with. We have a group that goes camping together and a good number of fall back positions. [/quote]
