Opposition

A very good morning to the respectful adjudicators,

precise time keepers and members of the floor. The
motion given for todays debate is this house believes
parents should attend parenting class. Ladies and
gentlemen, as the prime minister of the government team
just stated about

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to define todays motion.

A parent is a person who exercises paternal care over
other persons. Attend, is known as being present at a
particular place etc. And parenting class is defined as a
course which helps to improve a persons parenting skills.
In a nut shell, the motion for today can be defined as the
person who exercises paternal care over other persons
should be present at a course which helps to improve the
persons parenting skills. Now, Ill be proceeding the first
point of the opposition team which is based on habitually
attain. Ladies and gentlemen, we are now living in the 21 st

century and everything we know is now being upgraded.

Even though upgraded, it still has to refer to its origin or
the natural way .Even in parenting classes. Whatever a
parent does to improve their childs development, thats
what theyll try to input to the parents who attend
parenting classes. But, bear this in mind ladies and
gentlemen, not all children are the same. Every new infant
god introduces to the world has different abilities in terms
of emotional and physical and thats why we the
opposition strongly approve learning naturally is the best
way for parents to develop their child. Allow me to
emphasize, families spend time together and children
learn through everyday activities. Parents try to facilitate
learning without teaching to help children ask questions
that develop thinking skills or to develop consideration
for others without shaming or training, to give choices
while guiding their children, to listen to instinctual cues,
to honor emotions and desires, to allow development to
take place in its own time, and to engender cooperation
and harmony without manipulation. Ladies and
gentlemen, do you observe how much benefits a parent
can obtain just by sticking with the natural way? Now
lets look at parents who attend parenting classes. Every
new course a parent goes through in this particular class,

its like a new challenge for them because the parent will
have problems on how to apply what they have learned,
on their children. Now thats the problem faced by parents
nowadays. They do not know how to apply and they fear
that they will apply their knowledge in a less effective
way which may lead their children to social ills,
disobedience and so on. Now ladies and gentlemen, its
clearly seen that the natural way of parenting has a far
more effectiveness rather than attending parenting classes.
With that, I back to defer

GOVERNMENT

A very good morning to the respectful adjudicators,

precise time keepers, worthy opponents of the
government team and members of the floor. The motion
given for todays debate is this house believes parents
should attend parenting class. Ladies and gentlemen,
allow me to define todays motion. A parent is a person
who exercises paternal care over other persons. Attend, is
known as being present at a particular place etc. And
parenting class is defined as a course which helps to
improve a persons parenting skills. In a nut shell, the
motion for today can be defined as the person who
exercises paternal care over other persons should be
present at a course which helps to improve the persons
parenting skills. Ladies and gentlemen, now Ill be
proceeding to the first point of todays debate which is
based on the development of the child. Ladies and
gentlemen, parenting class will enrich the parents and
their children physically and mentally. Parents who attend
parenting classes will have a better perspective on how to
spend their free-time with their children rather than
spending their recklessly with their buddies, drinking and
smoking. Indirectly, parenting classes also ensures the

health of parents is well maintained in all conditions.

Moreover, child abuse can be prevented through the
knowledge gained by parents who attend parenting
classes. Normally, parents will have the sense of thought
that, by caning their children, their children will learn
from their mistake. When parents attend parenting
classes, they will realize that there are more better and
effective ways to teach their children without harming
them. In terms of mentally, parents who attend parenting
classes will have a more mature way of thinking and not
to react vigorously against their children which may lead
to child abuse. And this ladies and gentlemen, will
enhance the childs ability to socialize and thereby having
control over their emotions.

MYTH: Only bad people abuse their children.
While it's easy to say that only "bad people" abuse
their children, it's not always so black and white. Not
all abusers are intentionally harming their children.
Many have been victims of abuse themselves, and
dont know any other way to parent.

MENTALLY

Parents who attend parenting classes will have a

more mature way of thinking and not to react
vigorously against their children which may lead to
child abuse.

And this ladies and gentlemen, will enhance the

childs ability to socialize and thereby having control
over their emotions.

MYTH #1: It's only abuse if it's violent.

Fact: Physical abuse is just one type of child abuse. Neglect and
emotional abuse can be just as damaging, and since they are more subtle,
others are less likely to intervene.
MYTH #2: Only bad people abuse their children.
Fact: While it's easy to say that only "bad people" abuse their children,
it's not always so black and white. Not all abusers are intentionally
harming their children. Many have been victims of abuse themselves,
and dont know any other way to parent. Others may be struggling with
mental health issues or a substance abuse problem.
MYTH #3: Child abuse doesn't happen in good families.
Fact: Child abuse doesn't only happen in poor families or bad
neighborhoods. It crosses all racial, economic, and cultural lines.
Sometimes, families who seem to have it all from the outside are hiding
a different story behind closed doors.
MYTH #4: Most child abusers are strangers.
Fact: While abuse by strangers does happen, most abusers are family
members or others close to the family.
MYTH #5: Abused children always grow up to be abusers.
Fact: It is true that abused children are more likely to repeat the cycle as
adults, unconsciously repeating what they experienced as children. On
the other hand, many adult survivors of child abuse have a strong
motivation to protect their children against what they went through and
become excellent parents.

Is Parenting Natural or Learned?

Are parenting skills something you are born with? (And if so, what are all those
shelves of parenting books for?)
The Australian Institute of Family Studies analyzed a government survey of 5,000
Australian parents ages 18 to 55, which included questions about how one learns to
be a parent. The results, published in this months issue of Family Matters, the
institutes journal, seem to show that how much on-the-job-training you feel you
need is directly proportional to how much on-the-job-training you have already
had. Apparently, the more you know, the more you know how much you dont
know and need to find out.
The youngest mothers also say, however, they are twice as confident in their innate
abilities that parenting comes naturally as the oldest moms: 58 percent of
mothers under age 25 agreed with that statement, compared with 27 percent age 45
to 54.
Fathers, in turn, are slightly more confident than mothers, with 44 percent of
fathers ages 25 to 35 agreeing that parenting skills came naturally compared with
40 percent of mothers. Both mothers and fathers became less certain as time
passed, but the gap between the genders remained.
Which leads to a few questions:
Is being a parent an instinct or an acquired skill?
A little of both, I think. Some of my gut reactions over the years have simply been
wrong.
Were todays older and less starry-eyed parents just as self-assured when they were
younger? Is it time and experience that made them doubt their inner compass, or is
this generation really going to do things differently?
This generation certainly thinks it is different. In my writing about Life/Work
issues over the years, Ive been struck by how the views of the Millennials the

oldest of whom are now in the their late 20s and early 30s stand out from the
rest. They are more determined to do work in a way that also allows them a life,
and to form families where both genders parent equally. Last week we talked here
on Motherlode about how younger mothers were not planning to parent as they had
been parented at least when it came to the matter of manners. Whether they
actually DO what they intend, once they have mortgages and teenagers, remains to
be seen.
On the one hand, confidence does not necessarily equate with competence, says
Ruth Weston, a demographer at AIFS and co-author of the study. Young mothers
may underestimate the importance of experience and those who do encounter
difficulties are probably the most likely to revise their opinions.
On the other hand, younger parents are raising questions older parents didnt raise,
so maybe they will find solutions the rest of us never looked hard enough to find.
Why do men think parenting comes more naturally than women?
I suspect it comes down to the feeling of being judged. Society still looks to
mothers to have the answers, and women still feel more responsible (or feel as
though they are held more responsible) for parenting mistakes. So they second
guess themselves more often over time. It makes me wonder if a new equality
between the genders would bring equal confidence or equal doubts.
