As parents, they should be required to attend parenting courses every year to bring up their children well and give them a better environment for growth. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

One of

parents’ most important responsibilities

Suggestion

the parents’ most important responsibilities

is taking good care of their offspring. It is believed that it should be compulsory for all mums and dads to take parenting courses so that they are better prepared for parenthood. While I opine that

such

classes are beneficial, I do not agree that they should be mandatory. On the one hand, parents would benefit a great deal from parenting classes.

First

,

such

courses provide mothers and fathers with in-depth knowledge about how to raise a kid at different developmental stages. Parents who decide to take parenting courses will have a better understanding of their children’s needs;

hence

, they can take the best care of them.

Second

, mums and dads in parenting classes are equipped with basic medical training to deal with emergency situations more effectively.

For instance

,

first

aid training teaches parents what to do if their child has a high fever or a breathing issue. Despite

such

benefits of taking part in parenting courses or workshops, I believe that they should not be compulsory.

This

is because many parents, especially those who struggle financially, have to work overtime, in the evenings or even at weekends, just to make ends meet. Forcing them to attend those classes would adversely affect their work and their lives.

Therefore

, I think that parents should be free to decide whether or not they want to participate in

those

plural of "this"

these

courses

instead

of being forced to do so. In conclusion, despite some benefits that parenting classes offer, I believe that they should be optional rather than compulsory.
