(1) Parents are eople who ~rovide love. care. and education for children. Parents
may be defined as the principal people who raise a child. These people may or may not
have physically produced the child. Many children are brought up by relatives or other
caring adults when their biological parents, through death, disability, or uncontrollable
circumstances, are not present to care for them. The role of any parents,
biological or not, is to take care of their children's emotional, physical,
and social needs.
(2) Children need love and affection to grow strong emotionally. It
is important for all children to have at least one adult with whom they
can form a loving, trusting relationship. A strong bond with adults is
essential from birth through adolescence. For example, babies who are
not picked up frequently and held lovingly may have slow physical and mental growth even
though they receive adequate food and exercise. Youngsters who are raised in an
institution without bonding with an older person who functions as a parent often have
diiculty forming trusting relationships when they are adults.964 CHAPTER 12
