Module One: Text Questions
Review Questions
1. What are the differences between being a biological parent, an adoptive parent, and a foster parent? A foster parent provides a temporary home for a child who is either awaiting adoption, or whose parents' rights have been temporarily revoked. Adoption is a permanent situation - the child becomes a permanent part of the family.
2. What financial needs are parents obligated to provide and which are optional? Up to the age of 18 unless they move out before Then clothes, school, food, place to live utility bills etc, some leisure activities which would be provided by giving pocket money, educational toys and books, toiletries... Christmas presents are optional but cover fun toys etc.
3. What other needs might a child have that a parent is expected to provide? arents need to provide love, support, guidance, education and fun as well as the basic needs of a safe home, food, clothing and medical care.
4. What are the qualities of a nurturing parent? A nurturing parent gives more love, care and support than a non-nurturing parent. I think a nurturing parent would also pay close attention to their child's needs and abilities in order to meet the needs and support/guide the abilities
Critical Thinking Questions
1. What qualities make a person a good parent? A bad parent? here is a wide spectrum of parenting. This ranges from the over-involved "What are you doing, how are you doing" to the very neglectful or abusive parent. Parents at both ends of the spectrum do damage to their children. I think a good parent is in the middle of the spectrum...which would mean that they at least do little or nothing to damage their children. There are so many parenting styles
2. Which parental responsibilities do you think would be the most challenging? Why? As a parent, I would say that my greatest challenge is a constant struggle against cultural norms. I do not like many of the aspects of today's society as they relate to children.
