Parent facts for kids
Parents are the mother and father or caretaker of their children. They play a very important role in a child's life.
In humans, a parent is usually the mother or the father figure of a child. They can be related by birth (biological parents) or through legal adoption (legal parents). Parents are responsible for raising and guiding their children. They provide love, support, and teach important life skills.
When parents live in separate homes, they often decide who will mostly care for their child. This arrangement is sometimes called custody. The main goal is always to make sure the child is well cared for and happy. Parents have a big job to keep their children safe, healthy, and help them grow into responsible adults.

What Parents Do
Parents have many important jobs. They make sure their children have food, clothes, and a safe place to live. They also help children learn and grow. This includes teaching them right from wrong. Parents encourage their children to do well in school. They also help them develop their talents and interests.
Different Kinds of Parents
Not all families look the same. A child might have two parents, one parent, or be raised by grandparents. Sometimes, a child is raised by an aunt, uncle, or other relatives. These people are also considered parents because they provide care and support. What matters most is the loving care and guidance given to the child.
Parental Love and Support
One of the most important things parents give is love. They offer emotional support and comfort. This helps children feel safe and secure. Parents also teach children how to handle their feelings. They help them build confidence and self-esteem. This strong bond helps children face challenges as they grow up.
