Required Parent Classes

Should parenting classes be required? If you think about it that’s not really a bad idea. Right now it’s just an elective, but by the time that high school kids want it or need it it’s too late. That is a well needed life skill. Students complain about not learning anything about life when they could it’s just not required. Also if a student took a parenting class they might realize how much work it is to take care of a kid and be more careful. Which in turn would bring the teen pregnancy rate. The reasons a parenting class should be state required is because too many teens get pregnant every year, most parents have been imprisoned at least one in their life, and some kids go to foster care because the parent doesn’t know how to take care of them.

One thing that almost everybody will have to deal with at least once in their lifetime is parenting. In parenting, both parents are needed to make the job easier on themselves, their marriage and their child. In the essay The Myth of Co-Parenting: How It Was Supposed to Be. How It Was. by Hope Edelman, Edelman tells her experience with co-parenting. Edelman, along with many women, initially believed that co-parenting was possible. She soon figured out, however, that it was not a realistic goal. Some points that Edelman hits in the essay are the gender roles and societal expectations in parenting, being the nurturer versus being the provider, and how poor communication can ruin

Picture this, she is sixteen, overjoyed and excited. That time has come, kicking, screaming, shouting, and crying. Nurses in and out of the room, monitors going off, family standing there as their support system. This describes a typical labor process for most women. What most people do not know is that they are not typically prepared for the worst, or prepared at all. Having a baby is an enormous responsibility that people should be prepared for and educated about. The debate about having these classes in high school has its merits, but ultimately, these classes are too important to discontinue. For several reasons, students should be required to take a parenting class in high school.

For any mother the birth of a newborn child can be a challenging experience. As nurses it is part of our job to ensure their experience is positive. We can help do this by providing the information they will need to affective care for their newborn. This information includes topics such as, breastfeeding, jaundice, when to call your doctor and even how to put your baby to sleep. When the parents have an understanding of these topics before discharge it can largely reduce their natural anxiety accompanied with the transition to parenthood. Health teaching for new parents is seen as such an important aspect of care on post-partum floors it is actually a necessary component that needs to be covered before the hospital can discharge the

On the other side negative feelings can arise towards the baby due to complete overwhelming experience and at this point having the ability and awareness that there are people to speak to in order to ease the load and help with this and that its common. The most common change is that occurs even with the most confident of people is a Fear and/or feelings of incompetence. New parents don't automatically know how to care for their babies. They should try not to worry if they feel like they don't know what they're doing. Parenting takes lots of practice. Parents learn as they go and can’t expect to perform perfectly from the beginning.

We recognise and support parents as their child’s first and most important educators, and we welcome them into the life of the nursery. This generate confidence and we encourage parents

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

The Australian Government Department of Education and Training actively encourages parental engagement in their child’s education and is identified as one of the four pillars of the educational reform known as Students First (Australian Government Department of Education and Training 2014; Education.act.gov.au 2016). Not only does the Government’s Students First website convey to parents

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.

Lythcott-Haims makes a good argument, with a substantial amount of evidence that goes with her claims. From witnessing and experience, the former dean joins numerous of others in saying "let your kids fail" for less anxious, (little adult) children and students, which will/may help with (higher) achievements (to be made [though, not necessairly academic ones]). She, Lythcott-Haims, goes into greater detail in her book How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Preare Your Kids for Success, but the article "Hands off, parents" shortly tells of a man who lost his new, prestigious job, at a bank, due to his mother's interference-overparenting (even into adulthood). As a former dean (,and as a mother and individual,) she

     Did your mother read to you when you were six weeks old? Did she teach you how to do math problems when you were two? Recently, I read an issue of Parenting Magazine and found an article on child development. Kathleen Parker’s article, “First Three Years Aren’t That Critical” tells us that parents today are putting to much emphasis on what the media and medical journals are saying, instead of using common sense. The article emphasizes that parents are going overboard on these new studies using good argumentative techniques. Although I found not all of what she said was accurate, I still felt she got her point across. Parker uses evidence from scientists and medical

2) I believe parents shouldn’t be required to take parenting classes. The only reason why is because parents are taught different things throughout their cultures. They sometimes rather follow what their parents taught them about parenting. However, parents should consider taking classes because they can learn important information like how to lower the risk of SIDS.

Being a first time parent can be rough,especially if you have no one there to help guide you through it. That is why classes should be recommended to first time parents and or guardians. They should learn cpr, first aid, and how to prevent fatal accidents, and what types of parent or guardians should take these classes.

There is a lot of information available about adoption. It’s not difficult to find information on how to help an adopted child assimilate into a new home, how to manage interstate adoption, who to talk to regarding private adoption, how to manage post-adoption stress, etc. There are never ending articles filled with advice for new adoptive parents advising them what to expect and what to expect, helping them prepare, offering checklists of what to do and what not to do, and more. What isn’t as readily available is information for birth mothers.
