Parenting

Parenting refers to the process of raising and nurturing children, encompassing a broad range of activities and responsibilities undertaken by adults to ensure the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of their offspring. This includes providing care, education, guidance, and support throughout various stages of a child’s life, from infancy through adolescence and into young adulthood. Parenting styles can vary widely, influenced by cultural, social, and personal factors, and may include approaches such as authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved parenting. The ultimate goal of parenting is to help children become healthy, well-adjusted, and capable individuals, equipped with the skills and values necessary for functioning in society.
