1. Parenting

   Parenting is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. Parenting refers to the aspects of raising a child aside from the biological relationship. Parenting is usually done by the biological parents of the child in question, although governments and society take a role as well. In many cases, orphaned or abandoned children receive parental care from non-parent blood relations. Others may be adopted, raised in foster care, or placed in an orphanage.

1. Parenting

   Performing the role of a parent by care-giving, nurturance, and protection of the child by a natural or substitute parent. The parent supports the child by exercising authority and through consistent, empathic, appropriate behavior in response to the child's needs. PARENTING differs from CHILD REARING in that in child rearing the emphasis is on the act of training or bringing up the children and the interaction between the parent and child, while parenting emphasizes the responsibility and qualities of exemplary behavior of the parent.

Examples of Parenting in a Sentence

1. Annette Fernholz:

   In this case you have a judge, without any matter before him regarding the parenting time with the child deciding, ‘Oh, you’re not vaccinated. You don't get to see your child until you are vaccinated.' That kind of exceeds his jurisdiction.

2. Danielle Meitiv:

   So from that, I would say,' Yeah, I'm a free-range parent,' again, to me, the idea is, what happened to just parenting ?

3. Katherine Schwarzenegger:

   It's been a gift to her siblings,her father and to everyone who loves [her and Chris]. To see somebody step into a role of motherhood is reallya beautiful thing. I'm a big believer that motherhood and parenting is the most valuable work that we do in this world.

4. Amy Bellgardt:

   I basically have to live behind [ my youngest son's ] shoulder when he's online i know that sounds extreme, but for now, that is my action plan. I can't rely on restrictions alone for my parenting strategy.

5. Brene Brown:

   The real questions for parents should be: ‘Are you engaged? Are you paying attention?’ If so, plan to make lots of mistakes and bad decisions. Imperfect parenting moments turn into gifts as our children watch us try to figure out what went wrong and how we can do better next time. The mandate is not to be perfect and raise happy children. Perfection doesn’t exist, and I’ve found what makes children happy doesn’t always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults.
