Parenting

Parenting refers to the process and practices of raising and nurturing children. This involves the physical, emotional, social, and educational development of a child from infancy through adolescence into adulthood. Parenting encompasses various responsibilities, including providing for a child’s basic needs, ensuring their safety, teaching values and life skills, and promoting healthy development and well-being. It can involve different approaches and styles, such as authoritative, permissive, or authoritarian methods, each influencing a child’s growth and character. Parenting is a critical role that significantly shapes an individual’s future behavior, relationships, and functioning in society.
