I am going to be taking on in my home but not sure what to expect from them. Can anyone help me ?Parenting Classes Are they Helpful?
I'm a mom of 5 and I can tell you, parenting classes are great. I've taken 4 in the past 7 years. And I used to be part of something called 'Parents as Teachers' where someone comes to your home and teaches you how to play fun educational games with your kids. I much preferred the at-home class. It's more interactive and personalized because the teacher can actually see your kids and how they are. Then you aren't just getting a text-book response on how to handle something.Parenting Classes Are they Helpful?
Parenting classes are helpful, even if you consider yourself a good parent. You can always learn new things. One thing to look out for - when I took the classes (it was once a week for about 6 weeks) there were a lot of people there that were court ordered to be there. A lot of strange people, but at least it made me feel better about myself, lol.
But seriously, I'm considering taking more classes because, even if you only learn one thing you will apply, it will still make you that much better of a parent.
Well, it probably depends a lot on who is teaching them, what you are needing or wanting to learn, your child's age, and if you are having any specific problems with your child.
Need more info on this one...
Personally, I like to ask my Mommy friends that I respect for advice on specific problems, and/or read good books on the topic. If you have a new baby or are expecting, then ask an experienced Mama if you can shadow her for a couple of days and learn hands-on.
this is the course I did. It is the best one around and known as one of the few that work. It started in Australia but has had such success it is now in about 10 countries
keep your mind open and listen to others. our children don't come with instructions. we take classes to educate ourselves on our paying jobs %26amp; parenthood is no different.
very helpful
never attended one
