parenting class
Caregiver training session
A parenting class is an educational course teaching child-rearing skills—discipline techniques, developmental stages, communication strategies.
Courts often mandate parenting classes for divorcing couples or parents involved in custody disputes.
Others attend voluntarily: We took a parenting class before the baby arrived.
Also called parenting course.
