[QUOTE="DDD, post: 457114, member: 35"] It has long been my position that parenting classes should be mandatory in schools. In fact I think it should be mandatory in elementary, middle school and high school with no exceptions (obviously based on the appropriate age group). Around here, I think, there is an elective that includes one of those crying baby dolls that go home overnight...but that's an elective. Research has proven that parenting patterns are absorbed by home environment. Obviously there are exceptions. GFGmom is overreactive and yells...nope, not how she grew up or interestingly not how she behaves when visiting our home. difficult child (the AS kid) took a child development class in high school and he learned alot. Once again it was an elective. He told me "I try to teach Mom" but it doesn't work. Back in the day, here I go again lol, the parochial school we attended actually had the nurse take the dirty students into a special office where they could bathe, brush their teeth etc. On rare occasion they would provide a change of clothes. As an elementary kid I wondered what the parents reaction was and feared the kid paid the consequences. But at least they tried to supplement poor parenting with some opportunity. Mandatory eduation in child rearing might turn the corner for at least some of the kids. It might help them recognize problems and in a few cases supplement their parents efforts. Ignorance and fear leads to shaken baby syndrome, neglect and often abuse. I'd like to see the cycle stopped or at least slowed down. It's beyond sad. DDD [/QUOTE]
