Oregon Parenting Education Week
LaneKids and partners are pleased to share that Oregon Parenting Education Week will be observed May 19-25, 2013.
Of all the things that influence a child’s growth and development, the most critical is reliable, responsive, and sensitive parenting. Effective parenting education programs have been linked with decreased rates of child abuse and neglect, better physical, cognitive and emotional development in children, and increased parental knowledge of child development and parenting skills.
