Parenting

Parenting or child rearing 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 intricacies of raising a child and not exclusively for a biological relationship.

Etymology

The term "parenting" is derived from the Latin word "parentem" which means "to bring forth, give birth to, produce".

Types of Parenting

There are four major recognized parenting styles: Authoritative parenting, Authoritarian parenting, Permissive parenting, and Uninvolved parenting.

Permissive parenting

Permissive parenting, also known as indulgent parenting is characterized by low demands with high responsiveness.
