Preparing children and young people to become good parents

Before Becoming A Parent (B4BP) is a charity whose aim is to prepare children and  young people, well in advance, for the realities of parenting. We seek to educate them through innovative, memorable, experience-based activities about the emotional needs of babies, children, teenagers and parents, and how best to meet them.

Courses for primary school children, teenage boys and girls at school, college and other youth settings, and for  young prisoners. 


 

Human beings remember what they have learnt through experiential methods which involve their emotions, far more than what they learn through purely intellectual methods.

"I love the project. It’s fun and a better way of learning about being a parent."

"The violent children of the future are babies now."

Franklin Roosevelt

"Mothers and fathers, by the kind of life they build within the four walls of the home, are largely responsible for the future social and public life of the country."
