1.08 Review Questions
1. What are the differences between being a biological parent, an adoptive parent, and a foster parent? The differences between biological, adoptive, and foster parents are very simple. A biological parent shares DNA with their child, while adoptive and foster parents choose to take a child in and care for them. Just because adoptive and foster parents didn’t personally bring them into the world does not make them any less of a parent.
2. What financial needs are parents obligated to provide and which are optional? Parents are required to provide shelter, nutritious food, clothing, and health care for their children. Other things like music lessons, travel, electronics, etc., are optional things parents are usually able to provide for their child.
3. What other needs might a child have that a parent is expected to provide? A parent is expected to provide safety and security, meet emotional and educational needs, and provide discipline.
4. What are qualities of a nurturing parent? A nurturing parent is loving, caring, considerate, and would go out of their way to make sure their child has everything they need to succeed.
Critical Thinking Questions
1. What qualities make a person a good parent? A bad parent? I believe qualities that make a person a good parent are selflessness, being a good role model, and making sacrifices. Some qualities that make a person a bad parent are not supporting their child emotionally or making sacrifices for them.
2. Which parental responsibilities do you think would be the most challenging? Why? I think the most challenging part of parenting is having someone look up to you and copy what they see. That seems like a really big responsibility to be someone’s role model.
3. Which parental responsibilities do you think would be the most interesting to you? Why? I think just watching my child grow up and supporting them in any way I could would be fun. No matter what they wanted to do or what they wanted
