Three Ways Parenting Classes Can Help You Become a Better Parent
Finding out you’re pregnant when you weren’t planning on it brings a wave of emotions.
You might feel excitement one minute and overwhelming anxiety the next. At Embrace, we hear this question from many of our mothers-to-be: “Can I actually do this?” The answer is yes, you can. And you don’t have to figure it all out alone. How?
Taking a parenting class is one of the bravest steps you can make for yourself and your baby. Here’s how these classes can transform your journey.
1. Gain Practical, Real-World Skills
Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, but our classes are the next best thing. Learn how to keep your cool when soothing a crying infant. Understand safe sleep habits, or navigate the basics of breastfeeding. We’ll break down these big, scary tasks into manageable steps. You will walk away with a toolkit of proven strategies to replace guessing with knowledge.
2. Find Your Village
Feeling isolated is common during an unexpected pregnancy, especially in a city as spread out as Wichita. Classes bring you into a welcoming space with other women who are walking a similar path. You quickly realize your fears and questions are more common than you think. These connections often turn into lifelong friendships, giving you a support system of other moms who truly get it. Plus, remember – we now offer parenting classes at our new Derby location!
3. Build Unshakeable Confidence
Doubt can be a heavy burden. Parenting classes help lift that weight by replacing “what if” with “I know how.” You also learn how not to worry about being a “perfect parent.: There is no such thing! The knowledge you build with our parenting classes helps you make the best decision you possibly can. You can better cope with challenging days and start seeing yourself as the capable, loving parent your child needs and that you were meant to be.
