Parenthood is the state of being a parent. Traditionally, it means being a father or mother of the biological child. When
adoption is involved, the parents are the legal father and mother of the child. Responsible parenthood is the will and
ability to respond to the needs and aspirations of the family.
Responsible parenting is defined as the series of decisions couples make to ensure the best possible life for the family
and for the community to which the family belongs. It is the ability of the parents to raise children in the Filipino way
and to satisfy the social, economic, and religious responsibilities of a family. Parenting also includes the inculcation of
values and instilling of discipline.
Parenthood is a great responsibility or task. It is not a role which can be successfully played on the basis of chance. It is a
status where responsible couples arrive at after making a decision to have a family.

There are several factors when thinking of parenthood:

1. Happiness and stability of the marriage.

The relationship of the couple should be satisfactory because a child’s arrival may only become another source of
marital stress and misery.

enough to carry out his responsibilities.

The Role of parents.

1. Care givers: parents give their children the love and care that they need to grow up happy

and healthy, and full of love themselves.

2. Material providers: parents provide all of the material things that a child needs, including

food and shelter.

3. Educators: part of a parent’s role involves educating their children about everything from

doing up coat buttons to learning the alphabet.

4. Moral guides: parents ought to provide moral guidance as early as possible, so that their

children grow up into upright citizens.

5. Providers of emotional support: sympathy, empathy and kindness ought to be abundant in

everything that parents do. There is no point in providing material things for a child if this

is not accompanied with love and kindness, and a willingness to listen to and help with

any problems that the child may have.

The responsibilities of parents.

1. Their children’s health: it is down to the parents to ensure that their children are healthy and

well nourished.

2. Basic education: before children start school, it is their parents who are responsible for their

education. Once they are at school, parents still are responsible for ensuring that their

children attend classes and do their homework.

3. Moral examples: parents should not just tell their children what is right and what is wrong.

They should also be a good example to their children of what is right and wrong.

4. Material necessities: parents are responsible for ensuring that their children have enough

to eat and drink, that they stay nice and warm in winter and are protected from the sun in

summer. They do not need to spoil their children, but they should ensure that they have a

safe place to live and sleep and clothes to wear as well as toys to play with and books to

read.
5. Love: love is not just an emotion – it can also be argued that it is a parent’s responsibility to

show love and individual affection to their children at all times. Parental love is something

that comes naturally – parents just need to make sure that they express this love so

their children can see it clearly.

The duties of parents.

1. Choosing a name: parents are almost always the ones who choose their child’s name,

though a child may choose to go by a nick name or to change their name once they become

an adult.

2. Protection: a key parental duty is protecting their child from things that could harm them

physically and emotionally. Of course, that does not mean that a parent should lie to their

child about the world, or wrap them in cotton wool. However, they need to keep their child

safe from danger – and to teach their child how to keep themselves safe as well.

3. Discipline: children can be disciplined without the need for angry words or physical violence.

one of the key parental duties is disciplining a child so that they can practice self-discipline

later in life.

4. Financial support: the duty of ensuring that a child is supported financially so that they have

all of their material needs met is very often a legal requirement of parents.

5. Wellbeing: parents’ duties extend to caring for children both physically and emotionally.

that means taking them to the doctor and getting their vaccinations, promoting positive

mental health and attending to any cuts and bruises with first aid – among other duties.
