From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. 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 activity of raising a child rather than the biological relationship. In the case of humans, it 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 by foster care, or be placed in an orphanage. The goals of human parenting are debated. Usually, parental figures provide for a child's physical needs, protect them from harm, and impart in them skills and cultural values until they reach legal adulthood, usually after adolescence. Among non-human species, parenting is usually less lengthy and complicated, though mammals tend to nurture their young extensively. The degree of attention parents invest in their offspring is largely inversely proportional to the number of offspring the average adult in the species produces. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How do you make parenting decisions with your significant other? Q. I'm just curious how other people do this or if there is even a decision at all. My husband and I have two totally different ideas of parenting but somehow we do pretty good together through compromise and strategy. So, how do you make parenting decisions? Does one person do the majority of the parenting? Do you even discuss parenting with your significant? I'm just curious! Thanks! One more question--are your kids involved in parenting decisions?

I think its best to both contribute, and different ideas can work together with compromise. Answered by semj - Sat Sep 22 00:22:15 2007 What are all of the different parenting methods available? Q. I know we belabor the point here, sometimes... But, whenever I read people replies from people in the neverending spanking/not spanking debate, it seems like there are some who think the only choices for teaching our children are: Spanking Timeouts Taking away toys/priveleges 1-2-3 Magic That's it. Just straight pavlovian stimuli/response to train the children what to do and what not to do, until they're grown. Just wanted to get a list of other parenting methods that people use, to let people know that there are other choices that involve actually teaching your child to make good decisions without the contrived stimuli/response reward/punishment system. So, what are some of the other alternatives (besides, I guess, totally… [cont.] Asked by Maureen - Thu Aug 2 14:42:59 2007 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments A. Oh my God, I love your question! Thank God for common sense at long last. I'm also tired of the debates, it seems to me sometimes as if most people have discipline methods revised down to spanking vs timeout! I'm with you on the natural and logical consequences, I think most people seriously underestimate a child's capacity to absorb, understand and digest what is happening in their environment, and what you are teaching them. Ok, so what methods do I use? Firstly, I TEACH. Not punish, but teach children about boundaries and rules, consequences both naturally occurring and enforced, I explain to them not just what they did wrong, but what they should do right. I role model, and demonstrate, and ask them to actively think about what I' [cont.] Answered by Mum To Superkids is engaged - Thu Aug 2 15:02:01 2007 What is the best parenting advice you've ever been given?
