Parents’ Centre
A NUMBER of expectant mothers and their husbands have attended the Wellington Parents’ Centre, and other Parents’ Centres throughout New Zealand, since these were established, have gained immense benefit from the classes and lectures. The attendance at the Wellington centre of a "Mrs. Smith," who is having her first baby, will be followed in a programme to be heard in National Women’s Sessions at 11.0 a.m. on November 14. The centre aims at preparing parents for bringing up their children in the first few years-lectures dealing with child nurture, discipline, and an understanding of the problems which will arise in. the parent-child relationship. There are also classes for the mothers, where they are taught exercises, breathing and relaxation. It is felt that relaxation is one of the most important lessons, because in modern civilisation mothers can suffer unnecessarily through tension. The lecturers include doctors, psychologists, midwives and Plunket nurses, and classes are held every week
