More than two-thirds (68%) of Scottish adults think it is harder to bring up children now than it was when they were young, according to new research from MORI Scotland. The research, for Parenting Across Scotland, shows older adults most likely to think this. Pressure to buy, lack of respect for adult authority, concerns about child safety and the difficultly of balancing work and family life are identified as the main causes of parents' increased difficulty.
According to a MORI Social Research Institute survey for Organon around two in five women (43%) on the pill, are not sure which pill type they are actually taking.

MORI undertook a survey of home-owning parents with adult children (aged 18 to 29 years) for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) in March 2004. The objective of the research was to look at homeowner perceptions of the housing needs of their adult sons and daughters, and to assess their attitudes towards giving them financial support.
The majority of the British public think that it is wrong for someone to hit a child in their family (56%), and even more think it is wrong to hit an adult in the family (84%). When asked about legal protection, just over half (57%) say that children and adults should be given the same legal protection from being hit in the family home, while another 29% think that children should be given more legal protection than adults. Following on from this, seven in ten (71%) would support a change in the law to give children and adult family members the same legal protection from being hit.
Half of British parents (51%) feel the Government does not listen to the needs of parents and children, according to new research from MORI. The survey, commissioned by the National Family and Parenting Institute (NFPI), is for the report Making Britain Family Friendly.
