What does a mom and dad do?

Answer 1

Mothers (moms) and Fathers (dads) have multiple roles in their child's or children's lives. Parents' responsibilities are behavorial, physical, medical-dental, emotional, intellectual, moral and often are legally required from parents.

Physically parents must:

• Provide adequate housing.
• Provide adequate fluids.
• Provide adequate food.
• Guard a child's overall safety whether at home or in public.
• Guard a child from other children and adults who might accidentally or deliberately cause harm.

Medically (Medical-Dental)

• Provide care when a child is sick
• Seek medical and dental evaluation and services
• Oversee medical care received
• Obtain all legally required vacinnations
• Be aware of changes in health and seek treatment
• Comply with doctor's orders or show cause why they should not.

Behaviorally

• Teach appropriate social behaviors and norms
• Implement punishments designed to teach without being abusive
• Seek treatment if a child's behavior might harm self or others
• Prepare a child to go to school

Emotional

• To love, protect, and "honor" a child as an individual
• To train without abusing
• To provide comfort when distressed but also teach a child to tolerate some discomfort
• To treasure a child without overly spoiling
• To teach self respect and respect of others

Intellectual

• To prepare a child for school
• To comply with State Laws regarding schooling
• To work with teachers to ensure a good education
• To supervise schoolwork without doing a child's homework
• To support a child to excel

Moral

• Whether through a religion or not, to provide moral upbringing.
• To be a good model and moral example to their kids
• To teach moderation and tolerance for diversity

While some of these have NO legal mandates, some do have laws to force parents to comply example schooling. And if a child is discovered to be at risk and the parents are not doing the above tasks, the law will step in.
