Being a good parent is arguably one of the most important things any of us will do in our lifetime. Most of our activities will have little effect on the long-term future of mankind, but teaching our children well, so they can teach theirs well and so on is one thing we can do to reach into forever. So why is it that this vitally important skill isn’t even mentioned in education unless one specializes in child psychology. Shouldn’t we teach the fundamentals of good parenting to all children?

This is a corollary to this question about what constitutes “good parenting skills” that should be taught.
