It is widely acknowledged that raising children is a demanding responsibility that requires considerable knowelge and patience. While some argue that all parents required to attend courses to understand how to raise their child properly. I particully agree with this statement because it provide valuable knowledge, although i don’t believe that courses shoud be obliged for everyone.
On one hand, childcare courses can help parents develop important skills and be more confident in raising their child. Not everyone knows how to deal with children’s emotions and physical needs, especially first-time parents. For example, courses provide information about first aid, which type of food their child needs and how to react on child’s behaviour correctly. This knowledge is really crusial because parent’s desicion can have significant impact on kid’s mental and physical health. The experts also can give useful advices which can help to avoid horrible accidents.
On the other hand, making courses compulsory is kind of unfair and unnecessary. Some parents already have considerable experience in raising children so they just don’t need it. Futhermore, there are a lot of adults which have full time jobs, it might be unconvinient to attend these courses. For instance, parents who have successfully raised several childrend should know their basic needs. Moreover, courses reqiure a huge amount of energy and money, which some parents can’t afford. I believe that courses should be encouraged rather than forced upon parents.
Overall, courses can improve parent’s skills and help children grow up in healthy environment. However, i disagree that attendance should be mandatory. Government may provide affordable courses and allow parents to decide whether they need them.
