A parent educator is an individual who provides guidance, support and resources to parents in order to help them effectively raise their children. This can include providing information on child development, discipline strategies, communication techniques, and other topics related to parenting. Parent educators often work in a variety of settings such as schools, community centers, hospitals or private practices, and may offer classes, workshops or one-on-one sessions for parents. The goal of parent education is to empower parents with the knowledge and skills they need to be confident and effective caregivers, ultimately leading to healthier families and communities.
