BOSTON - Parenting has its difficulties.

"We constantly say, parenting sucks! We constantly just say that," Karla Guerrero, the program director at First Teacher told WBZ-TV.

First Teacher is a non-profit in Roxbury that's helping parents become better teachers for their children who haven't started school yet.

They are called First Teacher because they believe parents are a child's first and most important teacher, brain builder and advocate.

Please help put parents in charge of their child’s education by forwarding this article to other parents, family, friends and voters.
