Parenting Education classes ensure Ms. Harris and her son a safer future

Parenting Education classes ensure Ms. Harris and her son a safer future

Ms. Harris is the young mother to a two year old son, she is a first-time mother who goes to extremes sometimes to compensate for the things she cannot provide. She stopped working to provide the best start for him and always does what she thinks best. This led to an unfortunate event where she left him asleep in the car to quickly run into the store for his favorite cookies. Social services became involved and Ms. Harris was ordered to complete Parenting education classes covering appropriate supervision.

 

Mrs. Harris arrived at the class with a positive attitude, Thompson staff reassured her that the class was a safe place, where she could share whatever she wanted without fear of being judged. Ms. Harris shared her experience, and frequently participated in class-related discussions. She now understands the dangers of inconvenience versus risk and that a young child should not be left unattended. Ms. Harris said the most important takeaway from this class is that this careless event could have changed her life.

 

‘I now appreciate what the life changing end result of this careless decision could have been!’ ~ Ms. Harris
