"Parenting is the
process of promoting and supporting the
physical[disambiguation

],
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.
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."
