Parenting

Parenting refers to the process of raising and nurturing children, which encompasses a range of activities and responsibilities undertaken by parents or caregivers. It involves providing physical, emotional, and social support to foster a child’s growth and development. Parenting includes tasks such as meeting a child’s basic needs (food, shelter, clothing), educating them, instilling values and morals, and guiding them through various stages of life. Different parenting styles and approaches can influence a child’s outcomes, with variations including authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved styles. The practice of parenting can also involve managing relationships, setting boundaries, and ensuring a safe and loving environment for the child to thrive.
