Parenting is the process of raising
and educating a child from birth until adulthood.
Parenting has recently become a very popular topic due to the necessity
to clarify the process of upbringing a child at home by parents as the
opposite to the formal education of a child at school. Many parents need
parenting information, help, advice, skills, and even
parenting classes. A
teacher-student relationship is different than the parent-child
relationship. Therefore a parent's methods of educating a child must be
different than a teacher's. At school teachers give a child general
literacy and scientific knowledge; at home parents give a child general
wisdom of life as parents themselves understand it.

Parenting is usually done in a child's family by the mother and/or
father (i.e., the biological parents). When parents are unable or
unwilling to provide this care, it is usually undertaken by close
relatives, such as older siblings, aunts and uncles, or grandparents.
In other cases, children may be cared for by adoptive parents, foster
parents, godparents, or in institutions (such as group homes or
orphanages). There are also circumstances, such as on a kibbutz, where
parenting is an occupation even when biological parents exist.
Christian parenting is popular amongst Evangelicals and
fundamentalist Christian parents who see it as applying biblical
principles to parenting. Information on Christian parenting is found
in publications, Christian Parenting websites and in seminars devoted
to assisting parents to apply Christian principles to parenting.
While some Christian parenting models are strict and authoritarian,
others are "grace-based" and share methods advocated in attachment
parenting and positive parenting theories. Particularly influential on
opposite sides have been James Dobson and his guide "Dare to
Discipline". And Dr Sears who has written several parenting books
including "The Complete Book of Christian Parenting & Child Care" and
"The Discipline Book" |
