Educational Media Reviews Online

Although intended for teenagers, this film should be viewed by anyone who is considering becoming a parent and starting a family. The title says it all. To become a parent one must be prepared emotionally, physically, financially and socially. The keys to being a good parent are presented.

This program gives a broad overview of the role of a responsible parent. Young adults discuss their experience trying to raise a family and provide a stable and secure home environment for their child. After viewing this film, prospective parents should ask themselves, “Are You Prepared?” and answer it with honesty.

I strongly recommend this film be viewed in sex education classes and counseling sessions. Subsequent to viewing this film, it is suggested that viewers then be shown, Avoiding the Teen Pregnancy Trap, a film distributed by Human Relations Media.
