This is great! I taught high school Child Development and Marriage and Family classes for 5 years. Like many high school students my students would complain about the way their parents did things, but most of my kids were low income and many were in family's that were heavily involved in gangs, drugs and abuse. I told them that it is difficult to do things different from the family norm but they must make a real effort to learn another way if they want their kids to have a better family life. If we don't learn new "tools" we almost always fall back to what we know when faced with challenges. Most of my students were really motivated to learn about other family systems and methods and how things could be different for them as parents later in life.
Programs like this are so necessary. Education is the key. Parents - all parents need the tools to deal with the stress of raising a little one who will someday be out on their own and hopefully contributing to the good in society.
Thanks for the uplifting news about this wonderful program.
