Parenting - Toddlers

Parenting is the process of raising and educating a child from birth until adulthood. This is usually done in a child's family by the mother and/or father. Where parents are unable or unwilling to provide this care, it is usually taken on by close relatives, such as older siblings, aunts and uncles, or grandparents. In other cases, children may be cared for by adoptive parents, foster parents, godparents, or in institutions. There are also circumstances, such as on a kibbutz, where parenting is an actual job even when natural parents exist. Parens patriae refers to the public policy power of the state to usurp the rights of the natural parent, legal guardian or informal caregiver, and to act as the parent of any child or individual who is in need of protection.

Parenting a Toddler is a lot of work. Parenting responsibilities during the toddler years include feeding, bathing, potty training, ensuring their safety, teaching, and attending to their well being.
