ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Parenting

Parenting is when an adult takes care of a child to help them grow up safely and happily. Parents teach kids how to do things like eat, walk, and talk, and also help them learn the difference between right and wrong.

Parents have special jobs, like making sure kids go to bed on time, eat healthy foods, and stay safe. Sometimes, parents have to be strict and say no to things the child wants to do because it may not be safe or good for them. Parents also make sure that their child is bathed, clothed and healthy all the time.

Being a parent can be really hard and sometimes it can make parents very tired, but it's also very rewarding. Parents love their kids very much and want to help them grow up to be happy and strong adults, just like their parents that love them.
