Over four in five parents say raising a child is the best thing that ever happened to them

More than four in five parents or guardians (84%) believe becoming a parent was the best thing that ever happened to them – with cuddles cited as the greatest part of raising a child, a study has found.

Other favourite parts of watching a child grow up include watching their personalities develop, hearing some of the funny things they say – and them making you laugh.

And 23%, of the 1,300 parents, guardians, or carers polled, who are responsible for children aged 13 or under, also enjoy sharing new experiences with their little ones for the first time.
