INTRODUCTION

Parenting- is the process of promoting and supportingthephysical, emotional, social, and intellectual

development of a child from infancy to adulthood

Parenting in the early years is an exciting but

challenging time. Throughout the first five years of life,your child will transform from a new baby, completelydependent on you for everything, to an independent

person, with their own will and set of desires, hopes and

dreams.
