• It’s proactive. More tools in the box means more options for parents.

• We don’t wear fashion from the 80’s so why are we using the same parenting techniques? We are raising kids in a much different culture and this needs a different skillset. www.professionalparenting.ca

#4

• It’s current, research-based information that is up-to-the minute.

• Parent educators read journals, attend conferences, and study the most recent research specifically in the field of parenting.

#7

• It’s information, not advice.

• You are best equipped to make the best parenting decisions based on the general parenting information and your knowledge of YOUR child.

• Every child is unique and requires different tools.

• Knowledge of child development leads to appropriate expectations.

• Love is not enough. Like any other endeavor, parenting involves skills not taught in school.

• No parent is perfect. All parents have room for improvement –proactive knowledge gives preparedness.

#10

• The time/cost investment is worth a lifetime. Learning new skills is a better investment in your child’s future than private schools, educational toys, electronics, lessons and enrichment activities.

• The health effects of good parenting last generations.
