Abstract

Parents are the world1 s most influential professional people. They produce the new life of the race and support and nurture that life until such time as it is capable of becoming self-sustaining. They prepare the background against which be lived the most impressionable years given to a human being. From them, the child gets all the fundamentals of living; the gift of language, habits, religion, a sense of morality, good manners or bad, and physical care. In our society, the family is the basic social institution and children have the best chance for a good start in life in a family with parents, who are reasonably mature, healthy and understanding of their children's needs.
