Would mumsnet menbers support a online petition outlining mandatory parenting courses for new parents delivered to Downing Street?
The crime, drug-taking,sex industry and pain experienced by youth who have not had adequate parenting could be avoided, an organisation called "Triple P" deliver skills to anger management(i am not affiliated to them , i have come across them in my endeavours to set up a social enterprise in Mental Health Promotion).If Cameron implemented parented courses, can it not be shown an increase in health and income and stability for the young,plus saving the goverment money in the long-term!!!

exactly cory. no 'one-size-fits-all' solution.
and how arrogant to assume there is.

Wow who knew that being poor made you a bad parent?

So if a child abuser wins the lottery and becomes rich, are they then suddenly a good parent?

How small minded of you.

like madwoman, I have also had experience of the atittude that wants to send the parent of an SN child to parenting courses because it is so much cheaper than providing proper support for the child

if you have been told enough times that you need to sort your parenting methods you are unlikely to come back again and complain about the lack of disabled access in the toilets Hmm
