Letter: Diana: memorial ideas, grief without tears, media manipulation

Sir: We know that many parents today are overworked and stressed and parenting is something many adults stumble into, totally ill-equipped to cope with the constant demands of young children.

As effective parenting is so important for the emotional and physical needs of the child, could the best memorial for Princess Diana be the provision of nationwide family centres?

Princess Diana knew the trauma of family breakdown and cared deeply about children. Family centres are the ideal place to provide support for parents and children from conception to adolescence.
