From the Paper:

"Rearing a child presents a number of challenges to the parents. Aside from the tasks attached with nourishing the child with the basic needs such as food, shelter, education and clothing, the parents must also ensure that the child's psychological, intellectual and sociological aspects are also well taken cared of."
"It will be the parents' task to make sure that the child grows and matures properly. It will be the parents' responsibility that the behavior and attitude of the child is 'according' with the norms and traditions dictated by the society. Aside from the parents, there are other factors that can affect the person's behavior, attitude and personality. As the child grows and matures, he/she then faces varied factors that may affect his/her overall well being. These factors may include the parents themselves, the peers and the environment."
