Parenting is one of the most important jobs in the world. Everyone have a chance to be parent. Some people may be say that parents should learn how to parenting by themselves, but parents should have to take parenting classes for education, social, health, and mental reasons.
The important reason is parenting education. In general, people learn parenting skills form they parents, in other word, what kinds parents will teaching what kinds parenting. Most parents can teaching good parenting know-how, But sometimes these parenting skills just base on personal opinion and concepts. However, these knowledge was not enough to cover all, and in consequence some parents abuse their power while in teaching child and then misuse a child. Patricia A. Gorzka (1999) reported that short-tram parenting education courses may be useful intervention strategy to prevent parents’ abusive behaviors. People should need to take parenting classes to learn how to take-care their son or daughter and to develop effective parenting skills instead of child abuse.
The second reason is social that also a key reason. If parents have excellent parenting skill and knowledge, they will teaching their child to obey the social rule and regulation, and therefore reduce social problem. Domitrovich, Celene E and Bierman, Karen L (2001) noted that Children's perceptions of their parenting experiences were related to their social problem solving and their reported social distress that is to say parenting will affect child’s behavior shaping and social development. For this reason, parents can learn how to be a good parent and avoid children run away in the streets.
The third reason is mental health problem. In the present age of the high stresses and pressures, not only adult easy suffer from mental health problem but so child. “Mental health problems of clinical severity affect up to 20% of all children aged 5–15 years in Great Britain, and these are now the commonest cause of severe disability in childhood. Mental health promotion is a priority for public health in the UK. The importance of parenting as a risk factor for mental illness, both in childhood and in adulthood is well recognized” (J Patterson, J Barlow, C Mockford, I Klimes, C Pyper and S Stewart-Brown, 2002). Furthermore, research conclusion pointed out that good program of parenting make a useful contribution to the prevention of child behavior problems and to mental health promotion in primary care. In order to avoid a few vital parenting mistakes can make child’s life difficult. Hence, parents need learning prepare the mental facilities in parenting classes.
The final reason is health for parents and children. Child is weaker then adult and easy be sick and ill. If parent are not well aware, child will fell sick of a serious illness by big mistake. So Parenting classes are teaching parents how to take care children when they were sick and kept the child psychological well-being.
In summary, for educational, social, mental, and health reason, parents should have to take parenting classes; in order to let our next generation can be better. Furthermore, parent should depend on son or daughter’s situation to choice appropriate parenting class.
