Review Questions

1. What are the differences between being a biological parent, an adoptive parent, and a foster parent?
Answer: The differences between a biological parent, an adoptive parent, and a foster parent are that biological parents have their own babies which are biologically related to them. A foster parent would be someone who takes a child who isn’t theirs into their home for a period of time to take care of them and show them love like any biological parent. Which also leads to adoptive parents who would take care of a who isn’t theirs child and love them, but unlike a foster parent they would actually keep the baby like a biological parent.

2. What financial needs are parents obligated to provide and which are optional?
Answer: The financial needs that parents are obligated to provide to their child are things that a child would need in order to live a healthy life. For example, food, shelter, clothes, etc. The needs that are optional are things like toys, music, art, traveling, etc. because a child would not need those to live.

3. What other needs might a child have that a parent is expected to provide?
Answer: Well a child would need comfort through emotional times; they would also need their education and most of all protection and safety.

4. What are the qualities of a nurturing parent?
Answer: The qualities of a nurturing parent are the kinds that not only take care of their children, but also take care of themselves. For example, if a child and their parent were unhealthy in a way the parent would need to become healthy so the child, who looks up to the parent, would follow their footsteps.
