It should be necessary for parents to attend a parenting training course to learn how to bring their children up. To what extent do you agree?

Many people believe that prospective parents must go on a course to gain the skills required to raise children.

However

, in my opinion, I disagree that it should be mandatory because of the wealth of parenting information available and the innate ability to raise children.

First

and foremost, parents have coped for centuries without taking part in a training programme and have raised perfectly healthy babies. They have been successful in providing for their children using their maternal or paternal instinct

that is

ingrained in human nature. To illustrate

this

point, parenting training courses did not exist in the UK until fairly recently and the overwhelming majority of children have grown up as healthy and well-adjusted individuals. If parenting classes were essential,

this

would not have been the case. Another supporting factor is that new parents have access to a wealth of information without attending a training course. Millennials,

. What is more, new parents can acquire invaluable

or help available. To sum up, while there is nothing wrong with attending parenting courses, I strongly believe that it is not necessary. The key reasons for

this

belief are that parents have sufficient resources available which can be combined with their innate predisposition to nurture children.
