• Having trustworthy people to watch your children provides essential breaks for parents' mental health
• Military families and relocators face unique challenges in building support networks
• Children benefit from knowing neighbors and having multiple trusted adults in their lives
• Block parties and neighborhood events can help rebuild community connections
• Today's parents often don't know their neighbors well enough to rely on them
• Having kids play outside "until the streetlights come on" requires rebuilding neighborhood trust
• Great-grandparents and extended family provide exceptional support when available
