Parents Need Education Too

103 5
The term Parent Education is commonly used to cover the many ways which parents are assisted in bringing up physically and emotionally healthy children.
This applies to everything from your doctor's recommendation to hints picked up at a parents meeting.
There are so many countless information and from so many sources that it is a little wonder that sometimes parents education appears to be confusing.
Let's take a look at why it is receiving this attention these days.
1.
We now have at our disposal added scientific information about the way children grow and develop.
2.
Parents feel they need more outside help.
Many adults live unhappy, maladjusted lives because of the way their childhood went and again and question arises.
What can we do about a childs upbringing that will help him to develop into a sensibly happy, stable adult? It is in seeking the answers from these questions that expert investigators' have been able to provide some dependable guideposts.
Why modern parents do needs more special education in child training, than their grandparents? The answer is that a great many people today are living under entirely different circumstances than their grandparents who, as young people, gained experience in child upbringing and housekeeping in large, closely knit families.
They knew how to look after crying baby, do the chores and take major responsibilities long before they started their own families, a somewhat different situation to the girl of today who is going to high school and college or working right up until marriage, and has fewer opportunities, for home training.
Parent's education supplies abundance of sound advice.
But trouble often arises when it comes to be applied.
Why is this so? Information is most useful when fitted to the individual family situation.
Emotional experiences in childhood are related to development but this doesn't mean that everything you do to a child fewer than five is going to affect him for good or bad from the rest of his life! So making mistakes needn't cause the anxiety it often does in some parents.
Also raising children cannot be a nearly planned process because so much of what we say or do is on impulse, without stopping to reason things out.
We are just not cool and calculating all the time, and who would want to be? But to rely entirely on snap judgment won't work either, unless the parents have the necessary fund of personal experience not usual among present-day young mothers.
Parents should find satisfaction in knowing they are doing their best, relax and enjoy their children.
After all parents are people with needs too.
