Online Parenting Course

From all the free online courses we could have started this blog with the Online Parenting Course made it to the top because if has the potential to help so many. We all seem to know what we would do in parenting… yes we see all the things our parents did wrong and we know how to improve on it, or so we think… Here is something that can help you if you are a parent or a sibling helping to care of a child. Enjoy this free course!

“So, why take a course in parenting?
There's only one reason: to increase the number of options new parents might consider before having a baby. Why? Because it's very hard to decide about something you've never heard of! So, this course is not about the best way to discipline your child or the best method of toilet training.

In fact, it's not about a lot of things you might expect a course on parenting would be about. We've tried hard to deal only with those things you've NEVER heard about! The hippocampus, cortisol, doulas, baby wearing, and ghosts!

By the time you've finished this course we hope you'll understand just three things:
1. What a human baby has evolved over millions of years to expect and need
2. How our culture often clashes with those expectations
3. Important new information about a baby's brain development after it is born.
…And, of course, the importance of ghosts.”
