I just started a parenting class, and its confusing me. I'm not a parent. so, i dont know these things. What are 5 roles of a parent? I have "Teach Your Child", Be A Good Role Model" and "Nourishing Your Child Physically and Mentally". I need 2 or 3 more.

Also, how can Economic Conditions and Social Policies influence parenting?

What are 4 factors to consider in readiness for parenting?

What are four factors that influence teen pregnancy?

What are three genetic diseases?

Sorry thats all I could think of!

1. How can Economic Conditions and Social Policies influence parenting?
1a.If a parent is poor, he/she will not live in a nice neighborhood that is safe, that child wont grow up running and playing on green grass, and all the +'s that come with having economically sound parents...
Perhaps a parent would have to work more hrs...and a child would be left alone more hrs of the day...the differences go on and on.

2. What are 4 factors to consider in readiness for parenting?
Economics
Ability to provide
Maturity
Living situation
I would think there are more than 4; I guess your teacher is looking for text book answers that you should read about???

3. What are four factors that influence teen pregnancy? Again I would guess there are more than 4.

Social factors, family factors, peer pressure, relationship boundaries, how early are you allowed to date? Are her friends also teen parents? Was a sibling a teen parent? Is it socially acceptable in her family and circle of friends....?

4. What are three genetic diseases (I think there are more than 3)
Sickle cell

Hey Melissa....have a good time studying!
