Benefits Of Mandatory Parenting Education For High School Students

Parenting class would be benefiting parents that are new and don’t know how to take care of a child. "Given that the gap is widening between the white, middle-class population of children and children belonging to the growing low-income and Latino populations, examining the relative impact of parenting education programs across these diverse populations is essential," Finders said. "We think parenting education can have the greatest impact by adapting existing curricula to be culturally relevant and sensitive to diverse children and families' needs." ( Gale Contributor, Parenting class benefits all especially low income families). “Researchers examined a sample of more than 2,300 mothers and fathers who participated in parenting education series in the Pacific Northwest between 2010 and 2012. The series, designed to support parents of children up to 6 years old, typically lasted nine to 12 weeks and consisted of one one-hour session per week led by a parent education facilitator. There was no fee for participants.” ( Gale Contributor, Parenting class benefits all especially low income

To start, there are way too many teens getting pregnant. There are about 750,000 teens every year getting pregnant. Over half of that is with teens under the age of 18. Unless 18 it is illegal to have sexual intercourse with any male or female. They still get pregnant so if laws can’t stop them from doing it. Then laws can at least help them be prepared. If parenting class would be required then the only people not getting them would be ones already in high school and the ones who haven’t

Many people could sit there and tell them reasons that children should not be learning about parenting classes, or why having these classes could potentially help in the long run. First aid, for example, is an important factor, not everyone knows how to care for an infant choking on a Cheerio. Statics show that the United States have the highest birth rate from teen pregnancy. Thirty-four percent of young women get pregnant at least one time before the age of 20; that is about 820,000 women a year.( familyfirstaid) Although eight of every ten teen pregnancies are unintended and 79 percent of that are women unmarried. If the United States’ birth rate is so high to teen mothers could anybody possibly imagine how high death rate is of infants, due to the lack of knowing CPR. Many deaths could

Children do not come with guidelines or instructions. What they do come with is a crucial set of physical and emotional needs that need to be met. To raise children properly, parents duties are not limited to just food, shelter and protection. Parents are largely responsible for their children’s success in life. Parents are required to teach and educate children. They have to shape knowledge and character into their children to prepare them to face the real world. To be successful with this, parents must provide self esteem needs, teach moral and values and provide discipline that is both effective and appropriate. As the generations have changed, many parenting styles have evolved, as well.

Establishing positive parenting skills within the community will assist the parents in gaining new alternatives to their current practices. “Often we get the same families that are repeat offenders or they never really learn their ways of parenting are not acceptable” (Ruiz, 2015). Providing the “Strong Families” curriculum will reduce the number of children that are

This will help you because if you are a first-time parent or just want to be reminded on how to take care of kids this class would help you. In every state yo have to have a license to drive a vehicle, to get married, but anyone can be a parent (Dreyfus).the judge can make one or both parents attend the class, but the class must meet specific requirements (“Parenting Classes”). This would be a good idea to make parents take the classes, because now if you even just slightly hit you kid you are abusing them. So if you were to take the class you would learn the proper parenting skills. Now that you have learned heard why there should be parenting classes you can persuade other people to also think that there should be parenting classes. Now that we have looked at how this is a problem, and I have told you how some people treat kids and how those kids will be when they get older we could put the change into place. The purpose of this speech is to persuade you to think that there should be parenting classes, I have done this by discussing the problem with the parents and how they treat their kids, second, by offering a solution to this problem, and finally, show you how the world would be better with my plan in place. The parent that neglect or abuse their kids, those kids will have kids and the circle has begun its never ending. Now that you have heard why there should be parenting classes you can persuade other people to also think that should parenting classes. Just remember that there are fifty-six kids that are abused and sixty-one percent of kids are forgotten about, and you can be the generation that will help lower the rates

    A new challenge has overcame this generation of society. Keeping teen-moms in school and graduating with a degree, is a circumstance the community should risk fighting for. This generation of humans, the thought of sexual activity is more common and there are higher risks of producing a baby. The importance of keeping pregnant teenagers in high school, is so influential for their education and their future career. Becoming a new mom would lead to new stressful situations, which may cost them to quit high school and get a job to care for their newborn. Having new ideas and ways to prevent dropout rates from increasing, could just save their education. There are some strategies that are more common in high schools today,

Parenting class is one of the programs which introduced by National Population and Family Development. The parenting classes play an important role in creating a harmony family and it cannot be neglected by those new parents. Parenting classes are the courses to educate parents to learn about how to take care of their child (Legal Dictionary, 2016). There are various benefits by practicing parenting classes as a compulsory for every new parent. The benefits are reducing parental stress, depression and anxiety, enhance parenting quality, reducing the cases of abuse and neglect of children and socialize with other parents to exchange ideas. However, parenting class are not perfect enough. There is a weakness on parenting classes where the

These skills include: budgets and money, handling emergencies, developing people skills, managing time, and running a household. The Family and Consumer Sciences curriculum teaches all of these life skills plus many more. Because of this, I whole-heartedly feel that FCS classes are some of the most beneficial ones that high school students will take during the course of their educational learning. This LIA project will cover one such topic which every teen needs to learn in order to be a responsible adult - parenting. I will be teaching the parenting unit to my fourth period Life Connections class which consists of students in 10th – 12th grade. The three-day unit will include parental readiness, parenting styles, stages of pregnancy, important parenting issues (such as bonding and the “terrible twos”), parenting skills and coping, and brain development. The unit will include pre and post teaching assessments to gauge students’ learning and understanding of the unit

After analyzing the argument presented in the two guest columns, “Parenting Education should be mandatory” by Kai Fernandez and “Leave new parent alone,” by Sophie Thomas, Ms. Fernandez’s point of view makes the best argument that parenting education for new parents is necessary.

Parenting education programs are in high demand for parents who inspire to be and who are already parents. These programs are a positive influence on the attitudes, beliefs, knowledge and skills of parents to help increase the warmth and closeness of their family (Wandschneider, 2014). Educational programs of this kind are easily accessible through the individuals in ones life, streams of social media and even signing up and going to a class (Wandschneider, 2014). A wide variety of programs that are readily available are not highly researched and are created to focus on educating the parents rather than the child. (Wandschneider, 2014). ‘Raising a Thinking Child’ is a program that is both validated and focuses on teaching children.

Parents, especially from minority groups who did not have the opportunity to pursue and education, often times do not have the proper resources or time to give advise to their children about sexual health. A research study in the form of a survey in six Boston high schools was conducted about what high school students think about teen pregnancy prevention. The sample of students consisted of half female and half male. The study concluded that 32% of students wanted more parental communication about sexual health to prevent unwanted pregnancies. This shows that if parents were more involved in their children’s lives, they would be influences positively to make the right choices when choosing to have sex at a young age (Hacker, 1999). It may seem impossible for some parents to talk to their teens about sex due to their schedules, education, or simply embarrassment, but having a thirty-minute conversation about sex is a lot better than having their children give birth to children.

In the article, Kai argues that parents should be required to take parenting classes. Sophie Thomas gives some experience to three mothers, and she strongly disagrees with the idea that parents don’t need to take parenting classes. Kai’s article is the better of the two, because Thomas’ uses own experience to support he claims, however, Fernandez has better evidence to back her claims.

Our society today lacks a lot of basic fundamentals that should have been developed long ago and it is just getting worse due to parents losing basic skills in training their children. Parents are afraid to enforce and teach their children due to repercussions they might face for simple life lesson they try to teach and explain to their child. There are too many times that a young adult is portrayed as a virtuous person, but after looking into their background and their actions, finding out that they are far from the original status and converted into a very troublesome teenager with the belief that the world owes them. There is a great way to help these parents to improve their children’s behavior and teach them to contribute to our society

Many teenagers are now becoming parents these days. In fact, from the ages of 15-19, there were 249,078 babies born in the United States. (1) Many of these unwanted pregnancies can be prevented with the help sexual education. Yes, in some schools there is sexual education. But, if it was in every school many of these could have possibly been prevented. At the school I attend, sexual education is not offered. We are faced with several unwanted pregnancies, and with sexual education, I think these could be prevented.
