Abstract

Prenatal period happens to be an essential moment in which parents focus on  their skills on how to educate the new member of the family in the best way. However, when the real parent's time starts, they don't know how to solve certain complex situations for which they haven't been prepared. Daily situations which answer to the typical question "Where is the instructions booklet?" and respond to the affirmation "your life is going to change". We want our children to enjoy a full and correct development. To achieve this objective it is essential to have a balance between aspects from the physical, behavioral and emotional areas. We should work as an effective and well-coordinated team. Prenatal period is the best time to do it. Thus, we can favor prevention, strengthen stimulation and support in doubt. With this work we intend to prove thate parents' prenatal schools are a useful resource to guide families in their difficult task of teaching their children and being mother and father, learning how to educate another human being. In order to verify this hypothesis, we have conducted an intervention with a group of future parents who we convened through health services, and we have analyzed the results. The high interest that this has aroused and the general wish to keep in the process of education to learn how to teach are particularly outstanding.
