Classes for parents before the birth of their child

Tweet

With everything that has been going on with children and the punishments they receive from their parents, I am thinking that it might be a good idea for parents to attend actual parenting classes before they are allowed to take their children home from the hospitals. I am not saying that you give birth and then go to a class, but I think that either during your pregnancy or after you give birth, both parents should have to go to classes on how to care for their children. I think if these classes are required to be attended every couple of years, parents would be able to better realize problems early and be able to get help with issues regarding their children before it results in something bad such as making your child stand in the cold with nothing on, or trying to drown them. What do you think?
