    Frequently Asked Questions about Parenting

    It's important to learn about parenting if you have a personal or professional interest in raising children. The basics such as newborn baby care, breastfeeding, and child nutrition may be of the most interest to parents or child care providers. There is a significant overlap between parenting topics and issues related to family cooking, social-emotional learning, and gender identity. Some topics tie to specific issues that children may have, such as being on the autism spectrum or being deaf. Learning and development are other topics that are related to raising children and to other fields. For example, music education is of interest to elementary teachers and to many parents.‎
