Popis:	A survey of 1,150 fathers and 1,147 mothers in four regions of Japan (mean ages: fathers = 36.7, mothers = 33.8, children = 4.4 years) documented Japanese parents' sources of advice and information about young children. Mothers reported receiving more advice and information from more sources, compared with fathers. However, more husbands and wives cited “my spouse” than any other potential source of advice, and men and women expressed a high level of confidence in each other. Relatively few parents said that they had used professional advice. It is apparent that various sources of parenting knowledge can be facilitated to alleviate the stress felt by today's increasingly isolated parents.
