Recently Jameelah Hanif, Ingrid Cockhren, and Mathew Portell discussed parenting education and how it relates to the promotion of positive child experiences and the prevention of adverse childhood experiences.
Parenting education is important, and here’s a useful simile. Trauma caused by unsupportive and harmful parenting is like a powerful tsunami threatening the coast, whereas conventional parenting education is like one man with a shovel trying to stop the flooding.
Conventional parenting education is insufficient. An entirely new kind of parenting education that reaches everyone, everywhere must be developed and put into practice.
