Be sure to offer some thoughtful reasons for your answer. If your answer is yes, then what are some of the things that you think should be taught in such a class?
Since a lot of people might not have considered this idea, here is a brief argument in favor: Parenting is certainly among the most important job in the world, and it is not something that everyone is just naturally good at. We teach every child to do math problems (or at least we attempt to), even though a lot of them will end up doing very little beyond basic arithmetic in their adult lives. Why? Because they might need these skills at some point. And besides, it is good for young brains to be exposed to certain ways of thinking. Couldn’t this same argument be applied to parenting – especially since most people will actually become parents at some point, and parents literally have children’s lives in their hands?

Espeically having to deal with exercise and proper diet. Come on it’s disgusting when you see a mom who’s sorry for the metaphor but as big as a blimp and the child is the same way! It’s horrible! Also, in middle schools such as in Oregon schools should be required too have PE everyday!

we have scheduling next week and i would really like to take a parenting class. can someone please tell me what you get to do in that class and what some of the prejects are? thanks!

I’m a senior in high school and they gave me parenting class as an elective. I’m a girl btw. We’re gonna take home the baby dolls in October. I was just wondering , what kind of stuff should i expect from the baby? I know it’s going to cry a lot. Do i really have to change its diapers? I’m already good with babies but i’m just wondering. Thanks!

Ok so my husband and i are divorcing. We are supposed to be taking this parenting class afterwards i guess. But i live in Ky and im moving back home to Ok. Is there a way i can have it scheduled for back home incase im not here in Ky to do it??

I was put in Family and Parenting class. I was wondering what its about!!

I am trying to teach a friend a lesson about parenting and wanted to buy one of those fake babies that cry and need to be fed. If anyone has any ideas that would be great!

What benefits whould this have? I am writing a Thesis on getting a program started through the government requiring parents to have a parenting lecture or class during their hospital stay. Any comments are appreciated. Thanks!

I have decided to take an online parenting class. I was wondering what site would be the most effective. I don’t have a credit card or a checking account so it needs to be one that is free. I have 3 kids between the ages of 5 and 11. Has anyone taken one that was effective? If so, I would like to know what site it was and some examples of how they work. It is not that I don’t know how to be a parent, but that I am just not very effective and need to do something.
