"In a speech this week, the Prime Minister will argue that all parents would benefit from more advice on helping children play and dealing with bad behaviour. "
"We all need more help with this – the most important job we’ll ever have."
"He will use a major speech on Monday to set out proposals for a new voucher system to incentivise parents to attend the classes in an attempt to make parenting advice socially "normal" and even `aspirational`."
"The Prime Minister’s plan comes as he announces a £70 million investment in relationship counselling to prevent hundreds of thousands of families splitting up over the next five years. "
"Mr Cameron’s speech marks the latest step in delivering on the Conservatives' key election promise to help families at every stage of life."
"The parenting classes plan could prove controversial, with some likely to claim it represents a `nanny state` approach to the private lives of families."
"But Mr Cameron believes all parents, not just families from deprived backgrounds, need to get parenting `right`, especially as children grow up after the early weeks and months."

This is from the man who left his eight year old daughter in a pub following a Sunday lunch, after a mix-up with his wife Samantha.
"Pub staff found their daughter in the toilet and didn't know what to do."
"It's not like you can look up David Cameron in the phone book and then ring to say, 'You've left your daughter behind'."
"It's frightening the prime minister of Britain can forget something so important as his own daughter."
