Performing the role of a parent by care-giving, nurturance, and protection of the
child by a natural or substitute parent. The parent supports the child by exercising
authority and through consistent, empathic, appropriate behavior in response to the
child's needs. PARENTING differs from CHILD REARING in that in child rearing the emphasis
is on the act of training or bringing up the children and the interaction between
the parent and child, while parenting emphasizes the responsibility and qualities
of exemplary behavior of the parent
