Importance of Parenthood

Good parenthood is the practice of taking

teaching children facts
and skills and providing a
supportive environment
for children’s independent

Parents can provide
moral guidance on all
aspects of life, and they
are willing to answer
their kids’ questions about

Good parenting is to
provide children with love
throughout their lives and
teach to love others and
make them capable of
loving others and receiving

children to be good citizens
by teaching them civic
virtues such as

children to respect the
views of others, and to
respect their elders as well.

support for their children.
It does not matter how old

children to be looked after
and to be provided with
both emotional and
material support in their
old age.
