WHAT DOES PARENTAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Parent

A parent is a caretaker of the offspring in their own species. In humans, a parent is of a child. A biological parent consists of a person whose gamete resulted in a child, a male through his sperm, and a woman through her ovum. Parents are first-degree relatives and have 50% genetic overlap. A woman can also become a parent through surrogacy. However, some parents may not be biologically related to their children. An adoptive parent is one who nurtures and raises the offspring of the biological parents but is not actually biologically related to the child. Children without adoptive parents can be raised by their grandparents or other family members. A parent can also be elaborated as an ancestor removed one generation. With recent medical advances, it is possible to have more than two biological parents.

Famous quotes and sentences with the word parental.
1
Diane Abbott
When fast food is not a treat but a dietary staple, the children surf the internet all day in dark corners of the room and are bombarded with latest gadgets. Things replace parental standards.
2
Shawn Amos
In Los Angeles, parenting is a competitive sport. From Beverly Hills baby boutiques to kids' yoga classes, L.A. fuses high style, industrial-strength materialism, and parental outsourcing into our own unique version of child-rearing.
3
Clare Balding
Being made to feel like an irrelevant child was probably an asset. Benign negligence is not a bad parental attitude or at least a cross between a benevolent dictator and benign negligence - you should just let kids crack on with it.
4
William Bartram
The parental, and filial affections seem to be as ardent, their sensibility and attachment, as active and faithful, as those observed to be in human nature.
5
Michael Baumgartner
I am still a Catholic. I still believe life begins at conception. That is consistent with my Catholic beliefs. And I believe we must protect life. Whenever abortion comes up, we get questioned about the exceptions, but no one ever questions the extreme positions on the other side: late-term abortions, no on parental notification.
6
Franz Boas
My father had retained an emotional affection for the ceremonial of his parental home, without allowing it to influence his intellectual freedom.
7
Quentin Bryce
Maternity leave and parental leave is absolutely vital for strengthening families. It's an issue for men and women.
8
Jeff Buckley
I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.
9
Diane Cilento
My mother felt it was time that I had some parental control, so I went off to America and went to New York.

Diane Cilento
Once, the parental bed collapsed because all the children sat on it at once.
