On my local paper's website. He pissed me off saying it's just irresponsible parents and a useless program. I'm guessing this guy has never been a new parent...plenty of responsible people need advice on their baby's development.

1. I have learned that parents don't like to be held to account for their abilities......
it is easier for them to blame someone else. We lack accountability in this country.....personally and professionally.

And when a child goes wayward, it's always somebody else's fault except for the parent.

2. a lot of parents today did not get the example of good parenting.
today, more so than in the past, i think parenting classes are important. or for a new parent to have the desire to be open to learning. i had excellent parents. i was also much older. and i still horded information on development. any new parent that has an interest in listening to various parenting techniques and ideas gets a thumb up for parenting.

4. I have a three month old niece who uses this program...
It's more about showing parents what they should be doing as far as physical and mental development. It goes beyond showing parents common sense things.
