When you bring a new life into the world, it can be the most exciting and rewarding time of your life, but it can also be one of the scariest too. In an extremely short time, you have to become an expert in young child psychology, nappy changing, formula milk making and so much more besides. So, would you be interested in knowing that an online parenting course could give you the skills you need?
Well, that’s what you get when you take the Caring For Babies, Toddlers & Children course from OCA that gives you the answers and helps you develop your own unique and positive parenting style. The great thing about this course - and indeed all of our courses - is that it can be taken in your own time and at your own speed.
It’s Normal Not to Have All the Answers
As a new parent, it can be easy to think that you’re the only one having problems coping with everything you have to do, but you really aren’t. No first-time parents get a handbook that teaches them how to deal with all of the things that are involved. However, a parenting course like this one certainly prepares the way and makes you readier for what’s to come.
So, what parenting topics are covered? Well, during this 12-study-hour parenting training, you’ll get a firm grounding on the things that you’re likely to encounter, such as:
- Providing everyday care for children, babies and toddlers
- How to promote positive eating
- Tips on building a close bond with your child
- Encouraging positive toilet training
- The importance of sanitization
It’s important to know that EVERYONE struggles a little the first time around and that you shouldn’t think, “I’m a parent - I should know these things automatically”, because it’s just not true. From the outside, some families can seem like they’re the picture of tranquillity and order, but it’s often not the reality when the doors are closed, and everyone learns as they go.
Online Training That’s For Professionals Too
Having a resource like this to fall back on as a parent can be a real godsend, as often, just understanding what’s going on is half the battle. And when you’re armed with the parental guidance gained from a flexible online parenting course, you’re in a much better position to enjoy being a Mum or a Dad. That said, this training is not just suitable for new parents.
That’s because professionals can benefit too. If you’re an educator and you want to improve your child care skills, an online course like this one can broaden your work horizons greatly, particularly as each hour taken counts towards one Continuing Professional Development (CPD) point that shows employers that you’re committed to growing as a professional.
