West Virginia Code of State Rules › Agency 126 - Education › Title 126 - LEGISLATIVE RULE BOARD OF EDUCATION › Series 126-063 - Parent And Community Involvement › Section 126-063-2 - Rationale

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
2.1 One of the most
				important decisions of an individual's life should be whether or not they will
				become a parent. While all students may not choose to become parents, the
				likelihood of them sharing in the responsibility of educating, socializing, and
				protecting the next generation of children cannot be disputed. Futhermore. it
				cannot be assumed that parenting skills are inherited or intuitive as one
				becomes a biological parent.
The issue of child abuse is a complicated one and magnifies
				  the importance of parenting education. Abusive behavior is more likely to
				  result when adults lack problem solving skills, self-control and understanding
				  of the developmental needs of children. Fortunately, effective parenting can be
				  learned.
Parenthood education is intended to supplement rather than to
				  replace any parenthood training students receive at home and to strengthen the
				  family as the most important influence on a child's life. Such a complex
				  subject demands a broad based, comprehensive program to address pertinent
				  issues.
Existing consumer and homemaking, health, social studies and
				  developmental guidance programs in grades 7-10 contain concepts which
				  contribute to parenting skills. A culminating parenting elective course in
				  grades 10, 11, or 12 will integrate, expand and apply these concepts at a
				  developmentally appropriate level. The recommended content for the course is
				  attached.
