Head teachers back call for compulsory parenting lessons

[Caligula]

What screamed out at me in this article was the total absence of any mention of fathers.

Extraordinary.

Maybe everyone should have to enter the house of tiny tearaways when their child hits three so that Dr Tania Byron can sort them out?

(Is anyone watching this btw?)

Haven't seen that, but I saw a couple of episodes of the teen ones - God, how horrible they were!

Excellent post Caligulia. Also if father's have to attend to I'd like to know when my dh (who when I had ds was working 6 days a week) would find the time to attend, maybe give up spending time with his family on his one day off?

Or to that extent, whilst I was battling for the first few months to get my son to breastfeed and not lose any more weight would I find the time to do these classes. Or wait until I had gone back to work?

scummy, caught up with tania last night. fabulous. the parents are really the ones with the issues, yet again.
it seems like these days things like parenting, cooking from scratch etc aren't "taught" by school or family..pity all those skills are being lost and we have to top up on BBC3.
