Supporting Families through Parenting Education
Why classes in parenting education? Who needs that and why? After all, we were all children at one point, raised by parents or other adults – doesn't that give us the skills we need to raise our own children?
Well, not necessarily. Sometimes, people's first and automatic response is not what is in the best interests of their children. Sometimes, there are things that their parents did when raising them that could be improved upon. Sometimes, parents just don't have the knowledge of child development to understand their children's behavior. Or they are not familiar with the great variety of parenting tips and tools to pull out of their "parenting tool belt" to respond effectively to challenging behaviors. Or maybe, they don't have a supportive network that can help them through the tough times with their kids.
At The Parenting Center, we believe that it is never too late to make changes to improve children's chances of succeeding in life, and that no matter how good a job parents are doing in raising their children, there is always the opportunity to learn more, to reflect on the relationship with their children, and to make improvements in their parenting approach.
Here are some of the heartfelt comments we have heard from parents who have used our resources:
- "The Parenting Center classes provided me with information and advice that I may have never been aware of as a first time mom. It eased my fears and gave me confidence that I was doing a good job even when some of the days seemed endless!"
- "I am grateful that you are dedicated to helping parents like me who sometimes feel desperate, anxious and frustrated. Thanks for providing a support system that can be utilized at any given moment. Whenever I have a specific problem or issue that I want to get ideas about, I know I can always contact you for help."
- "I love your Center. What a great resource. I am so glad you put all the information online and for free. The webinars are great since I live so far away. I feel like I am attending in person and in the same room as the teachers and the other parents. It was so helpful that the teachers gave word for word examples of what to say to my kids. You gave me the tools to help my children."
- "I want to tell you that I think about what I learned in your workshop almost every day. What a gift."
- "I found your website this morning. I'll tell you, I loved it. It was fun and amazing. I understood it so easily. Thank you for putting these classes online and free of charge. Having them available is priceless."
- "I learned that when my child gets angry, it is not a personal attack against me. It is just where he is at now in his life. He doesn't know how to express his anger in a better way, and I can teach him how to do that. I learned how important it is for me to give myself time to take a moment to calm down during heated moments before I respond. You gave me ways to react that won't damage him."
- "It's so great to have you there online. Whenever I am struggling to figure out how to handle a situation with one of my kids, I can just go to your website and find the information I need to do the right thing."
Some of these parents took our classes in a face-to-face setting. More and more are accessing our very large library of articles posted on our website and have attended our live online classes. These web-based resources are available free of charge, 24/7, whenever a parent has the time and the need.
Through The Center for Parenting Education's materials and programs, parents are able to get the needed support to do the best they can to raise resilient, responsible, caring children who are able to meet life's inevitable challenges.
The Center's goal is to continue to give parents the information they need regardless of ability to pay. Please consider contributing to our efforts to provide low-cost or free parenting education.
