The issue of whether or not the young generation should be taught how to be a good guardian is a matter of concern for many. Critics argue that children have more important things to learn about at that age, should not be given a lesson on parenting, however, I believe the opposite. This essay will discuss my opinion on why it is useful to teach children parenting earlier and the skills required to be a good parent, by using examples from the Student Union Magazine and Fostering Council UK.
