Lesson Overview

This B2 ESL conversation class is all about parenting! It follows on from the main B2 lesson plan about the parenting styles, which you can find here.

In this B2 conversation class on parenting, students will explore; parenting styles, family rules, real-life parenting dilemmas, and common myths and opinions about raising children.
