Considering Parenting?

Ultimately, deciding to parent is a decision only you can make. When you need information and resources, it can be difficult to know where to turn.

Do I Have What It Takes To Be A Parent?

Parenting isn’t easy, but guiding your child through life is full of exciting new opportunities. But knowing whether you’d make a good parent before your child comes into the world can be hard.

Asking yourself some questions can help you get started. With these, you’ll identify what areas you’d excel in and what resources you’d need if you choose parenting:

• What are my initial thoughts on parenting? Where do they come from?
• What would I be most worried and excited about with parenting?
• Do I have a strong support system?
• Will the baby’s father be involved?
• Can I provide for a child? What resources might I need?

This process can feel agonizing, but asking yourself the hard questions will help you be better informed. Parenting is challenging, but it is possible.

Parenting In School

Parenting while in high school or college offers new and unexpected challenges. You might worry about classmates’ opinions, how your parents will react, and whether you can continue your education.

Your goals are still achievable when you parent. You may encounter some obstacles, but those don’t mean your dreams can’t become a reality.

Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination, so you’ll be protected while pregnant and parenting. You are entitled to excused absences due to pregnancy and childbirth, reasonable accommodations, and more.

Contacting your school as soon as possible is key. You can set up a plan to continue your education even as you encounter these life changes.
