Poll: Should the government educate parents on how to raise their children?

So I was reading some of the news articles that ninemsn puts up, because that's where I get most of my news stories, and I saw this a poll and I was thinking to myself that it could be a good idea. Some people have no idea how to raise kids they think it comes naturally because their parents did it. Let me tell you something you have no idea, having children these days is something not to be taken lightly and you ask any parents who has adolescent children and they will tell you that. I see what my parents go through and how I am with them and I sometimes think man I am never going to have kids. If the government had a program to help parents it would be fantastic but I think it also depends on what they would be teaching. That's just my two cents what do you guys think?

Hi Belinda
I saw ur comments on my blog so i was just checking ur page ;)
But yeah on this i feel a parent can or should only explore the creativity of their kids when they are small and once the kids grow up its for them to decide.
A kid is going to live his/her own life. Its not an extension of his/her parent.

well i agree with you, but the thing is until that child has developed and has an opinion and mind of their own they are in the care of their parents and should be taught certain things form their parents....i think it would be interesting to see what the government would try and teach parnets to teach their kids...

i couldnt have said that better myself....and trust me no one wants to be taught parenting by bush's bitch mr j. howard either so yeah. but think about it what kind of things would they say, im still trying to get over the abortion thing that happened here i dont want some overly relgious person telling the people of australia who probably dont feel the same way how to raise their kids

Belinda i think its diff for each individal. Different for each kid and each parent. I dont think the government can generalise n teach parents common stuff. No two persons are the same. So i think governments shud be left out of this and they shud do at what they do best and meanwhile let the kids grow up naturally without any force.

yes but some parents need the help. its not easy like they should have something you know what to do in an emergency and all that some people dont know this (its sad and true) and i think it would benefit those children who have parents who would rather be out with a berr in thier hands sleeping with random people get diseases then making sure their kids are okay. like some parents dont even know how to enrol theirkids at school....seee my point, im not for it i think it would be interesting to see what they could teach (i left you another comment on your blog by the way)

Returning the favor of your comments on my blog! I know this is an old thread, but I have an opinion! The government can't get the stuff it's *supposed* to do right, I don't see them being able to turn out great parents with a cookie cutter.

I think parents should teach parents. I'm blessed to have a huge family on my mom's side, and my mom did a great job, and her mom's *still* doing a great job. We all raise each other. It's trite to say it takes a village, but I think that while everybody needs to be their own person, we take individualism too far and think we *have* to do it all alone.

Families should stay closer, and help each other. That's what kin is for!
