Responsibilities of parents to their children and wards
Parents take good care of their children and wards in the following ways:
1 They provide the needs of their children and wards. Such needs include food, clothing and shelter.
2 They train their children by sending them to school and investing in their education. For instance, they pay their children’s school fees and buy bags, shoes, uniforms and books for their use in school. They ensure that they study at home in order to perform well at school.
3 Parents name their children when they are born. They give them the kind of names people bear in their family. Sometimes the name shows what parents want the child to become.
4 They teach them to be of good behaviour and to respect elders, thereby contributing to their moral development.
5 Parents protect their children from sickness and danger. However, they take their children and wards to the hospital for treatment when they are sick.
6 They advise and teach their children and wards on how to do things properly. For example, mothers teach their daughters and even sons how to cook and clean the house. Fathers may teach their children how to do farm work or how to fix and repair things in the house. If children grow up without parents or guardians to guide them well, they may not be able to learn those things that will make them good and responsible citizens.
Responsibilities of children and dependents to their parents
Children and other young members of the family help the parents in the following ways:
1 They go on errands for their parents.
2 They do domestic work such as washing clothes, cooking, sweeping, dusting, and taking care of the younger ones
3 Children whose parents are traders sometimes help them to sell their goods.
4 They attend to their parents when they are sick.
