Make Parenting A Pleasure, Second Edition

A Guide for Parenting Educators

We asked Pamela Evanston, Director of Training with Parenting Now! to provide an overview of the new Second Edition of Make Parenting A Pleasure specifically addressing the interests of parenting educators.

The short videos on this page speak to the theory and approach that the curriculum employs to help stressed parents cope with the challenges of parenting and learn to enjoy the time they spend as parents nurturing their children. The videos also address the issues parenting educators have in organizing and conducting classes to provide the maximum benefit for the parents they help.
