Should parents receive monetary incentives to help improve their parenting?
I dont think so at all. Granted I would love to get a tax incentive for doing all of those things that I already do. But its called “Being a good, careing and loving parent!” Parenting classes are interesting. As a foster and adopting dad I have been thru many parenting classes as well as classes geared towards helping kids weith emotional or learning issues. It seems that some of the “parenting classes” are more about hwo to fill out paperwork and how to take care of a baby/toddler and not about what a school aged child needs in their life to keep them healthy and happy and going in the right direction. I think the counties should offer loaner books on different parenting styles and the differences between raising a boy and a girl and hwo they learn different and such. Maybe a discussion group to help parents with questions on child behavior. But a lot of parents are embarassed of thier children (almost ashamed it seems) when the child has learning issues, social issues, is a bedwette
