Parenting

Parenting refers to the process of raising and nurturing children, encompassing a range of responsibilities that include providing for their physical, emotional, social, and educational needs. It involves guiding and supporting children as they grow, helping them to develop skills, values, and knowledge that will enable them to become independent and functioning members of society. Parenting can take various forms, including biological, adoptive, single, and co-parenting arrangements, and it may involve different styles and approaches, such as authoritative, permissive, or neglectful parenting. The effectiveness of parenting practices can significantly influence a child’s development, behavior, and overall well-being.
