Parenting refers to the process of raising and nurturing children from infancy through adolescence into adulthood. It encompasses various activities, responsibilities, and approaches that caregivers, typically parents, undertake to ensure the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of their offspring. Parenting involves providing basic needs such as food, shelter, and safety, as well as fostering education, discipline, and socialization.
Different parenting styles can influence how parents interact with their children, ranging from authoritative, permissive, to uninvolved approaches. Effective parenting often includes establishing boundaries, teaching values, and encouraging independence while providing support and love. The ultimate goal of parenting is to help children grow into responsible, healthy, and well-adjusted adults.
