    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.‎

    There are many benefits to learning parenting, including becoming a more effective parent, educator, caregiver, or health professional. If you are raising or caring for children, then learning ways to meet a child's needs and manage behavior could make life much easier. Learning about parenting can also debunk different parenting misconceptions and ineffective strategies. People looking for careers in child care or early childhood education will learn more about how to work with their young charges effectively. Medical professionals will learn more about topics that affect pediatric patients and their care at home. Elementary educators will gain insight into current practices that affect children when they show up in the classroom.‎

    Online courses can help you learn parenting by giving you exposure to the current leading thoughts about the physical and emotional care of children. Video lectures from leading experts, readings of the latest research, and online class discussions will help you gain an understanding of the concepts. Quizzes and projects will help you assess and demonstrate what you have learned. Some courses will include projects and case studies to help you apply the information to real-world situations. Because of the variety of topics related to parenting that are available, online courses can help you learn about specific situations such as learning differences, social-emotional learning, and inclusion.‎
