OSLO， Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- Today's generation of parents in Norway are more interested in their children and take courses in order to get more knowledge and confidence， newspaper Aftenposten reported on Thursday.
There are 31，000 hits online when people google the Norwegian word "foreldrekurs"， or course for parents， according to the report.
In addition to a variety of municipal offers， which are often free of charge， there is an increasing number of private courses with various topics for parents， the report said.
"It has only been more common to participate in parenting courses in the past few years. That is a trend we noticed with today's generation of parents，" psychologist Peder Kjos said.
They are very interested in their kids and would like to invest in parenthood by acquiring greater skills， Kjos said.
One parental couple told the newspaper that they like to use time and money for a course since it uses the same tools as the school their eight-year-old daughter attends.
"We look at this therefore as an investment in capability to speak the same language，" they said.
"If it was somewhat embarrassing to attend parenting courses before， it is now completely spotless，" said Hans Holter Solhjell， leader of Famlab Norway， which is a part of international organization Familylab association.
Kjos said that children with some biggest problems， who often come from families that do not function so well， are also those whose parents are seldom seen on these types of courses.
"Parents have managed with child upbringing since the stone age， but most of the parents may require different forms of input -- no matter how they acquire it，" Kjos said. Enditem

The main event at fight night in Kingston, a popular boxing showcase, was hours away undercover nike react element 87 white womens cheap , but the crowd at the National Stadium's indoor arena, from the young and hip to the elderly, was already pumped.
When reggae artist Tarrus Riley entered the stage, the screams of the full house were deafening, and the fervor persisted throughout his performance.
A musical and social roots movement called "Reggae Revival" is on the rise in Jamaica, where the raunchier dancehall genre has been king for the last two decades. The revival evokes music from reggae’s golden era of the 1970s, dominated by the late undercover nike react element 87 white cheap , laid-back legend, Bob Marley, who put reggae on the global map with his catchy tunes and spiritual and socially conscious lyrics.
"Reggae is bouncing back," said Chris Blackwell, the founder of Island Records who introduced the group Bob Marley and the Wailers to the world. "It got lost somewhat in a negative and violent direction (but) I think it's finding itself again," he added.
The revival of traditional "roots reggae" also stands as "a peaceful revolution in a nation that is often typecasted as violent," said Dutty Bookman undercover nike react element 87 blue gold cheap , a Jamaican writer who has been documenting the movement which he says goes beyond music, likening it to the Arab Spring.
"Love, unity, positivity, truth-seeking, these things form the basis of the movement," he said.
Jamaica is the birthplace of reggae undercover nike react element 87 blue cheap , which became an international phenomenon thanks to Marley who died of cancer in 1981 at age 36.
"Reggae is the heartbeat of Jamaica," said Ziggy Marley, one of Bob Marley's reggae-playing sons, currently on tour for his “Fly Rasta” album.
"I think Jamaica misses it,” added the younger Marley. "In the past years a lot of the younger artists have been trying to move away from it with dancehall, but reggae is something that is needed because music affects our society deeply."
DANCEHALL TAKES OVER
After reggae’s golden age, the music degenerated as artists moved from marijuana undercover nike react element 87 black white cheap , considered a spiritual drug by Jamaica’s Rastafarian Christian sect, to harder drugs like cocaine, Herbie Miller, Jamaica Music Museum’s director, said.
“Slackness,” a catch-all term for bad behavior, including explicit sexuality and violence undercover nike react element 87 black womens cheap , became the norm, and with it came the rise of dancehall.
Dancehall is an offshoot of reggae with a hyper-energetic sound and often violent, misogynistic as well as sexually explicit lyrics.
In 1991, dancehall artists famously upstaged roots reggae performers at the popular annual Reggae Sunsplash music festival and dancehall artists such as Shabba Ranks, Yellowman, Buju Banton and Ninjaman became all the rage.
Dancehall moved reggae closer to the American gangster rap scene, led by artists like Snoop Dogg undercover nike react element 87 black mens cheap , one the biggest selling American rappers.
But dancehall was rocked by a series of scandals involving some of its stars. The Grammy-winning singer Buju Banton was convicted in 2011 on cocaine conspiracy and trafficking charges and is serving a 10-year sentence.
In April dancehall star Vybz Kartel was sentenced to life in prison in Jamaica for the murder of a former associate.
Despite fading, reggae's influence can still be heard in mainstream American pop, including the Bruno Mars 2012 hit "Locked Out of Heaven."
Mars performed a rousing reggae tribute to Bob Marley at the 2013 Grammys alongside Sting, Rihanna and two Marley sons, Ziggy and Damian, s. |
