being a parent.

What is It
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.
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.
