What ParenTEACH Course Participants Are Saying
“Educated parenting is very important in everyone’s life. Just being aware of abuse and how to stop it will make a big difference. Not only that but teaching how to actually discipline helped me so much. If I hadn’t taken this class I may have just continued a cycle of spanking my kids and not teaching them anything at all.”
— ParentABLE Course Graduate
"[Taking ParentABLE] is a great opportunity for people to grow and learn. Soon I hope parenting classes will be taught worldwide because too many kids suffer and are suffering from improper parenting techniques. I talked to my mom about it and she was all about it and realized she also made a few mistakes while parenting us. I love that we are [taking parenting education]. This is so very important for literally the human race."
— ParentABLE High School Student
"I enjoyed the length of the videos and the teaching examples were phenomenal. Job well done!!"
— Carlon B., ParentABLE Course Graduate
