What professional helps teach parents how to parent?
What's the person called that teaches the parents how to parent?
Dog trainers usually don't only teach dogs tricks. They show the owners, how they can teach the dog things, how they can master challenging situations, and how dog owners can communicate better with their dogs in general. In this way, they are more dog-owner-trainers than dog trainers. I amp looking for the parent version of this: someone who can teach a parent how to parent.

More seriously, a parent coach is what you’re looking for. There are also more specific roles, such as a lactation consultant, who would help with specific things, but parent coach is someone who would help you be a better parent and teach you skills that you might not have learned in normal life.
Child psychologists and child development experts are among the professionals who teach parenting skills.
