Question 1

what kinds of parenting classes can we take?

Accepted Answer

Several options: Most areas offer prepared child birth classes, these can be classes trying to cover all options or more focused, like bradley, lamaze, waterbirths.  If you are undecided, look for a more comprehensive and take an additional focused class later.

Question 2

does anyone know where i can take parenting classes?

Accepted Answer

Community resources: I would start by checking with your local hospital, library, health department and community centers.  Asking other parents at your church or children's schools is another way to start researching what's available. 
There are many good parenting books too. 
Also, for specific questions, the aap website www.Healthychildren.Org is a great resource.

Question 3

what are the best parenting classes for expectant parents?

Accepted Answer

Breastfeeding: I think if i had only one class to go to i would pick a breastfeeding class.  We don't spend enough time talking about the importance of breastfeeding.  Learn as much about it as possible.  If there are family members who do not know about it or who may not be supportive, they should go to the class with you.

Question 4

can parents attend sex ed classes?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Traditional and local social taboo has barred something to happen and someone to participate in certain aspects of life without justifiable reason for mental supremacy and discrimination. But, I do feel parents' attending sex Ed Class will help and improve its intended effectiveness. Nonetheless, ask and try so to testify how it may pan out at where you're. Best wish...

Question 5

do i need to go to special classes as a parent of a disabled child?

Accepted Answer

No but learn a lot: No you don't need to go to special classes but you should try to learn as much as possible from many sources.  Support groups (check with your local hospital and doctor's office), disease specific associations, the internet (as long as it is a reputable, physician-reviewed website), etc.

Question 6

people say i should go to lamaze classes but i don't really want to. am i bad parent already?

Accepted Answer

See below: This should be a personal choice. Lamaze classes are there for people who want them. They can provide information of what to expect during your pregnancy, the delivery process, and the immediate newborn period.  However, lots of babies were born prior to the popularity of lamaze classes. If you do not want them, then don't go. You are not a bad parent.

Question 7

is there a class that can teach young first time parents how to be parents and what to expect at birth?

Accepted Answer

Prenatal class: Often, pediatricians in your area will have prenatal classes, which also serve to introduce you to their practices and help you decide which doctor to pick for your baby.  Also, the hospital at which you plan to deliver your baby should have classes on everything from breastfeeding and infant care to CPR training (which all parents should take).  Congratulations on your new addition!

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Refers to children: Child forms a strong emotional bond with caregivers during childhood with lifelong consequences.  The absent parent or child going from one foster home to another children can develop reactive attachment disorder, they can't trust adults.

Question 9

what kind of parent gets arrested for drugs?

Accepted Answer

Unfit ones: Parents that should not have kids in the first place-.

Question 10

how to tell my parents how i feel?

Accepted Answer

Tell your physician: Go to him/her first. He/she will probably know how to share what you've told in a way that is more likely to produce a favorable outcome. Parents are likely to accept what they need to hear from a respected doctor rather than directly from you. I'm sorry your home situation isn't one with trust and openness, but a physician / counselor's intervention is likely to improve things.
