The Young Parent Survival Guide from Connexions

Parenting Classes

Many people believe parenting should come naturally - that you understand a lot of it by instinct and pick up the rest as you go along, with help from family and friends. But it can be useful to learn parenting skills in a more structured way.

Classes give advice and information on bringing up children, including:

  • What to expect at each age
  • How to handle behaviour problems
  • The best way to discipline your children
  • How to handle teenagers
  • Information about schools and education

You'll also have the chance to:

  • Meet other parents
  • Think about how you are bringing up your child
  • Think back to how you were parented
  • Learn new skills to make family life happier
  • Learn how to manage stress and anger
