Caring for children is probably the most important thing of the society. It is suggested that all mothers and fathers should be required to take the childcare training courses.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?

Children are playing a (significant) role in contemporary families, especially in some nuclear ones. An obvious (phenomenon) exists that parents pay much more attention on the area of child-caring. There has been much dispute whether or not parents should attend childcare training course. I personally believe the course is important for parents.

In the first place, parents must face a lot of intense competition and high pressure by having to struggle for their lives and rarely spend spare time with their kids. Consequently, education of children has always been (neglected). Unlike adults, children don’t have the ability to distinguish the pros and cons. They need to be taught that what kind of behavior they should follow. Parents are willing to attend this training course as a (previous) opportunity to seek a better way on how to educate their kids.

On the other hand, children have always been (spoiled) by the elders, especially in China due to the “One Child policy”, the kids can get whatever they want, even though some items which harm them. For instance, parents offer candy even though they know that candy can cause (obesity) and tooth damage if their child is keen on candy. Under such (circumstances), children have become smarty-pants. The course can teach parents how to use a proper approach to take care of their kids and lead them into an (appropriate) way of life.

Last but not the least, through this course, parents can obtain some practical and helpful strategies and skills for further education. The relationship between children and parents could be closer and both of them can benefit from this training course. 　　From what we have discussed above, we can safely draw a conclusion that the child -- care training course should be strongly recommended.
