FAQ's family education
It must be said in advance: the responsibility for raising your children lies with you as parents.

You can receive this support through the family and parent education services. Family and parent education is aimed at all Erlangen families and all family members.
The aim of family and parent education is....
- to strengthen your parenting, relationship and everyday life skills
- to promote a successful upbringing in the family
- to enable a family climate in which children and adults can develop and flourish
- to strengthen you so that you can cope more easily with possible problems or family crises.
