Parenting Education in Minnesota

Included page "clone:parented" does not exist (create it now)

Parenting education has a very strong tradition in Minnesota. Interest in parenting continues to grow, especially as we learn more about the significant role that parents play in the lives of their children, and the role that education and parent-focused programs play in supporting parents. At the same time, the amount of information about parenting has increased exponentially over the last couple decades. What is needed is a place where professionals can share resources, ideas, best practices, lesson plans, etc. A place where we can learn from each other and provide support.
The purpose of this wiki is to serve as a sharing platform for people who work with parents (or for those preparing to work with parents). Like Wikipedia, the strength and value of a wiki resides in the activity and quality of its contributors. The Wikidot resource was selected due to its ease of use (see below for more information).
