Parenting Education Matters!

NPEN has created six Parenting Education Matters messages you can share. Click below to receive your first image and suggestions on how to use it. Or subscribe to receive all six messages with your logo as they are rolled out throughout the year!

Parenting education strengthens families and builds parents’ confidence to care for their children while equipping them to navigate family life with resilience and greater enjoyment. Parenting educators play a key role in guiding parents through this process—fostering healthy development, addressing behavioral challenges, offering support, and connecting families to additional resources when needed.

For many families, parenting education is transformational—with many outcomes, including:

  • Builds community: Expands social networks, reducing isolation and stress.

  • Educates: Enhances parents' understanding of child development.

  • Increases sense of agency: Strengthens parenting skills and confidence.

  • Supports growth: Identifies developmental delays and connects parents to intervention services.

  • Strengthens bonds: Deepens parent-child connections.

  • Encourages aspirations: Helps parents achieve personal and parenting goals.

Parenting education isn’t just about learning—it’s about thriving, together.  

Help us spread the word that #parentingeducationmatters.

NPEN'S EQUITY AND JUSTICE STATEMENT

The National Parenting Education Network (NPEN) operates through the lens of equity and justice. We know the importance of social justice (racial, economic, educational, health, housing, employment, criminal, and environmental), diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging within the parenting education field and our organization. We demonstrate our commitment to these realities by ensuring that our membership and leadership roles are open to parenting professionals of all ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, ages, abilities, religions, sexual orientations, nationalities, genders, and marital statuses.  

Children learn about a just society through the words and actions of their parents, caregivers, and others.  We assert that our anti-racism and anti-oppression parenting education and family advocacy work allows everyone to be heard and supported. Our work includes promoting diverse parenting educators and parenting education in our media, webinars, member communications, leadership opportunities, networking, conferences, trainings, and advocacy. By keeping racial justice, diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging at the forefront, we create an environment within NPEN that supports parenting educators, parents, and caregivers, thereby, encouraging children’s healthy growth and development.
