Abstract
Parents were asked which sources of advice families with difficult chi ldren should seek. The results suggested a similar hierarchy of agenci es for both boys and girls with emotional and behavioural problems. Te achers, doctors, child psychiatrists and health visitors all received strong positive ratings, books about children with problems received m oderate positive ratings, religious leaders received the strongest neg ative ratings and grandparents and friends received neutral ratings. I mplications for service provision are discussed.
