It seems that many family courts and many universal values held have a pretty basic definition of a parent's role. It is a parent's responsibility to care for and control their child(ren). This involves providing the child(ren) with food, clothing, reliable and safe shelter and adequate education. The parents also play a very important role as the original teachers for the child(ren). This means teaching the child(ren) about life in general, manners, preparation for growing up, as well as assisting in the child(ren)'s academic achievements. Parents can do this best by being loving and supportive of their child(ren). It is also the parent's job to teach self-control; this is ususally done by employing discipline--establishing rules to follow, assigning chores and responsibilites, and administering punishment when warranted. It is the parent's duty to protect their child(ren) from harm of all sorts as best as possible, whether the harm is self-inflicted, by illness or injury, psychological, or any kind of harm from others the child(ren) interact with. Most states hold parents responsible for the care and control of their child(ren) until they reach the age of 18 or the age of majority for that state.
