Quarter 2- Module 3
(Responsible Parenthood, Roles and Responsibilities of Parents, and
Successful Family life)
What This Module is About

In a traditional Filipino family, the father is considered the head and the provider of
the family while the mother takes responsibility of the domestic needs and in charge of the
emotional growth as well as values formation of the children. They both perform different
tasks and is treated differently by their children. Children see their mothers soft and calm,
while they regard their fathers as strong and the most eminent figure in the family.
However, at present, the family structure is evolving. Moreover, Filipinos keep close
connections with other relatives. They recognize them from 2nd degree to the last they can
identify. As Filipinos say, “not being able to know a relative is like turning their backs from
where they come from.”
Aim
Understand that responsible parenthood involves the choice of a partner, decisions
on how many children to have and when to have them (based on family resources) and
providing for the needs (physical and emotional) of the children throughout their
development.

Basic concepts
The size of a family should be decided by both parents together, based on their
available resources and the standard of living they wish to achieve.
Even though young people may be physically able to become parents at a very early age,
being a responsible parent means waiting until the health of the mother will not be
endangered by pregnancy and until both parents are emotionally mature and able to deal
with the needs of a family.

By waiting to get married and have children, young people can give themselves more
time to pursue the things that can help to make them better partners - education,
employment, personal maturity, self-confidence, etc.
Spacing the birth of children helps to protect the health of the mother and allows both
parents more time to give each child the attention and affection he/she needs.

Responsible parenthood is the will and ability to respond to the needs and
aspirations of the family.
Responsible parenting is defined as the series of decisions couples make to ensure
the best possible life for the family and for the community to which the family belongs. It is
the ability of the parents to raise children in the Filipino way and to satisfy the social,
economic, and religious responsibilities of a family. Parenting also includes the inculcation
of values and instilling of discipline.
<source: Population and Education Teaching Module 2009˃

Parenthood is a great responsibility or task. It is not a role which can be successfully

played on the basis of chance. It is a status where responsible couples arrive at after
making a decision to have a family.
There are several factors when thinking of parenthood:

1. Happiness and stability of the marriage.

The relationship of the couple should be satisfactory because a child’s arrival
may only become another source of marital stress and misery.
2. Physical and emotional readiness of both partners for parenthood.
A wife should be physically and emotionally prepared to give birth to a healthy
child and the husband should be mature enough to carry out his responsibilities.
3. Financial stability.
The cost of living gets higher as the new born child completes the family and it
depends to his parents.

Activity 1: Slogan Making

Direction: Make your own slogan or a quotation about the importance of
responsible parenthood.

Activity 2 : A balloon of promise

Direction: Give at least ten (5) importance of responsible parenthood. Write it inside

What is It

What do we mean by the importance of responsible parenthood?

An important part of growing up is learning to make decisions about our lives. Part of
decision- making means taking responsibility for our own actions and understanding that
our decisions affect the lives of other people. In order to make responsible decisions, a
person needs accurate and reliable information. Decisions about family size and child
spacing should be made by the mother and father together as they will affect both of their
lives.
The situation of every person and each couple is different. Therefore, there cannot be
a set of rules or guidelines which can be applied to everyone. Couples need to make their
own decisions regarding responsible behaviour. However, discussions within the youth
group and advice and counseling from adults can help youth to make good decisions.
Establishing a family is a very important decision that demands emotional,
intellectual, social, physical, and economic preparation. Motherhood and fatherhood are
not simply tasks for which we are "naturally equipped"; they require preparation and
maturity.
Responsible parenthood includes the process of deciding how to choose our partners,
when to form families, when to have the first child, child spacing, how many children to
have in all, etc. But responsible parenthood does not end with decisions about how many
children to have and when to have them. Responsible parenthood includes all the decisions
we take to ensure the best possible lives for ourselves and our children.
Children have special needs that often can be neglected if not carefully planned for.
Beyond their need for appropriate nutrition, children also need emotional support and
affection, mental stimulation, social involvement, and recreation.

explain the advantages and disadvantages on having smaller family and bigger family.
The size of a family has a significant on a interrelationships among its members and can
play a major role in the formation of a child's personality.
Family size is a significant factor in child’s development, but must be considered as only
one part of a larger picture, however. Other factors, such as the parents’ personality traits
and the gender and spacing of the children, contribute significantly to the formation of a
child’s personality.
Larger families are more frequent with early marriage and rapid birth of the first child.
In larger families, child rearing becomes more rule ridden, less individualized, with corporal
punishment and less investment of resources.
Smaller families tend to result in higher IQ, academic achievement, and occupational
performance.

Roles and Responsibilities of Parents in

Lesson Child Rearing and Care

What I Need to Know

All of us have parents. And many of us are, or want to be, parents in the future. That
means that parenthood is very important for all of our lives. 
In this lesson, it discussed the big roles and huge responsibilities among parents
enable to have a responsible children in the society.
It explain how parent being human, a parents (cares for) a child, whether or not that
child is biologically theirs (for instance as is the case with adopted children).Someone who
adopts the role of a parent.
Being a parent comes with a multitude of responsibilities and duties. Of course, you
want your children to grow up to be healthy, happy and exceptional adults, but for that to
happen your children need to be properly cared for, guided, loved, disciplined, taught and
encouraged along the way.

What’s In
A responsible parenthood plays an important role on family health. It has an adverse
effect on the family growth. Parenting task is not an easy because it lies the effect of childs
personality. So, the parent must plan ahead towards the size of their family want and make
sure to do their responsibilities well. In parenthood most likely will start the success of the
family either it is a smaller or larger/bigger gamily.
From the moment your child is born, it's your responsibility to care for him and keep
him healthy. In addition, need to take your child for regular dentist visits, normally every 6
months, and an eye exam annually. You'll make sure your child is getting the proper
amount of sleep for his age, well rested and energized. You'll also need to make sure your
child stays active, through playtime outside, sports and other activities. These are some few
of the roles and responsibilities of parents to look at.
As you go along in this lesson, you will learn that there are lot of things to do as role
and responsibilities of being a parent.

What’s New
The Role of parents
1. Care givers: parents give their children the love and care that they need to grow up
happy
and healthy, and full of love themselves.
2. Material providers: parents provide all of the material things that a child needs,
including
food and shelter.
3. Educators: part of a parent’s role involves educating their children about everything from
doing up coat buttons to learning the alphabet.
4. Moral guides: parents ought to provide moral guidance as early as possible, so that their
children grow up into upright citizens.
5. Providers of emotional support: sympathy, empathy and kindness ought to be abundant
in
everything that parents do. There is no point in providing material things for a child if
this
is not accompanied with love and kindness, and a willingness to listen to and help with
any problems that the child may have.

What is it
The responsibilities of parents.
1. Their children’s health: it is down to the parents to ensure that their children are healthy
and well nourished.
2. Basic education: before children start school, it is their parents who are responsible for
their education. Once they are at school, parents still are responsible for ensuring that
their children attend classes and do their homework.
3. Moral examples: parents should not just tell their children what is right and what is
wrong.
They should also be a good example to their children of what is right and wrong.
4. Material necessities: parents are responsible for ensuring that their children have
enough
to eat and drink, that they stay nice and warm in winter and are protected from the sun in
summer. They do not need to spoil their children, but they should ensure that they have a
safe place to live and sleep and clothes to wear as well as toys to play with and books to
read.
5. Love: love is not just an emotion – it can also be argued that it is a parent’s responsibility
to show love and individual affection to their children at all times. Parental love is
something that comes naturally – parents just need to make sure that they express this
love so their children can see it clearly.
The duties of parents.
1. Choosing a name: parents are almost always the ones who choose their child’s name,
though a child may choose to go by a nick name or to change their name once they become
an adult.
2. Protection: a key parental duty is protecting their child from things that could harm
them physically and emotionally. Of course, that does not mean that a parent should lie to
their child about the world, or wrap them in cotton wool. However, they need to keep their
child safe from danger – and to teach their child how to keep themselves safe as well.
3. Discipline: children can be disciplined without the need for angry words or physical
violence one of the key parental duties is disciplining a child so that they can practice self-
discipline later in life.
4. Financial support: the duty of ensuring that a child is supported financially so that they
have all of their material needs met is very often a legal requirement of parents.
5. Wellbeing: parents’ duties extend to caring for children both physically and emotionally.
that means taking them to the doctor and getting their vaccinations, promoting positive
mental health and attending to any cuts and bruises with first aid – among other duties.

 The Effects Of Rapid Population Growth
Lesson on the health of the Nation

What I Need to Know

All nations are committed to achieving a higher standard of living for their people—
adequate food, good health, literacy, education, and gainful employment. These are the
goals of millions now living in privation. An important barrier to the achievement of these
goals is the current rate of population growth. The present world population is likely to
double in the next onward years, producing a population of billion by the year onwards.
Such rapid population growth, which is out of proportion to present and prospective rates
of increase in economic development, imposes a heavy burden on all efforts to improve
human welfare. Moreover, since we live in an interconnected world, it is a nation problem
from which no one can escape.
In this lesson, it discussed and explain the various effects of rapid growth to the
nation.
You will learn on this part about how important to be a responsible parent or being a smart
parenthood to avoid the hard living of people especially children.

What I Know

Activity 1: Pre-Assessment
Direction: Check the box if the statement indicate about population, if not, just leave
it blank or empty.
Information/Statement
1. The number of individuals in a nation.
2. The quantity of individuals in a particular place.
3. The size of growing individuals changes any time.
4. Pregnancy associates to the growing individuals in a place.
5. Various other illnesses will somewhat occur to rapid growing of individuals.

What's In
 The duties, roles and responsibilities of parents play an integral part to uphold the
rapid growth of population in a nation. The parents’ contribution helps a lot to control the
successive increase of population. Parenthood also takes place to lessen the congested
quantity of people living on earth.
You cannot deny that nowadays, rapid growth of population is visible. Because of this,
various illnesses or issues and conflicts exist and needs to resolve it. Thus, there are effect
of this rapid growth of population towards health for the nation.

Activity 2: It is the Moment!

Direction: Give your contribution on how you can help minimizing the over populated
nation through essay.

Over the last half century the population of the world has exploded. And at this time,
there are seven billion people on the planet and this number is projected to grow in a short
period of time.
Of all of the environmental challenges facing the planet today overpopulation is one
that sometimes slips under the radar. Issues like pollution, climate change and water
shortages all seem to take precedence, but overpopulation is one of the main contributors
to many other environmental issues.
Overpopulation will place great demands on resources and land, leading to
widespread environmental issues in addition to impacting global economies and standards
of living.
The issue is compounded by the difficulty in providing solutions for this problem and
misunderstanding of the causes and effects of overpopulation.

What is It

There is a saying that goes' Two is company, Billion is a crowd'. The world population is
growing at an alarming rate. Thus, this how many of us are here and how is our rising
population affecting human health whom live in this nation.
As knowing the causes of the rapid growth of nation's population, there are adverse
effects on health of an individual such as of environmental issues like pollution, climate
change, water shortage, desertification, disappearance of non-renewable resources, water
supply contamination, easily spread disease, starvation and crimes.
Pollution exist because of many individuals using vehicles or transportation and
working in manufactory and establishment.
Climate change because of burning of human’s garbage’s, water supply
contamination because others urinate or dispose their wastes anywhere like in the stream,
canal, sea or river. Starvation due to too many people who don’t have work. And a lot of
reason to this effects that exist today.
Exhaustion of natural resources: the main effect of overpopulation is the unequal and
unrestrained use of resources. The planet has a limited capacity to generate raw materials
and each year the consumption of resources at a faster rate than the planet is able to
generate them – is reached earlier. Consequently, in developing countries, overpopulation
causes fierce rivalries to control resources. Territorial conflicts over water supply are due in
many cases to geopolitical tensions and can end in war.
 
 Environmental degradation: unbridled use of natural resources, as well as growth in
energy production from coal, oil and natural gas (fossil fuels) is having a negative impact on
the planet. Consequences number, on the one hand, deforestation and desertification,
extinction of animal and plant species and the most direct consequence of all in the form of
emissions of large quantities of greenhouse gases leading to global warming.
 
Rising unemployment: on the other hand, a high number of workers exist for a
limited number of vacancies and this seems destined to lead to high rates of joblessness in
the future. This in turn could provoke rising crime and social revolt.
 
Rising living costs: all the above will lead, at the end of the day, to increasing living
costs in most countries. Fewer resources, less water, the packing of many people into
confined spaces and a lack of money are provoking an increase in the cost of living whereby
only a percentage of the population will be able to cover all their needs.
 
Technological advances: on the positive side, high concentrations of people in urban
areas also brings with it research and development in the quest for solutions to the
population’s needs. An example is the popularization of communication technologies and
the generation, collection and use of  for sustainable ends, as well as the emergence
of  adapted to ensure good living conditions for the increasing population.
 
The depopulation of rural areas in favour of cities may, paradoxically, create major
challenges for such places. It results in a growing number of under-utilized infrastructures,
due to migration away from these rural areas, and previously domesticated landscapes
whose ecosystems deteriorate without human attention.
As you can see, the impact of overpopulation is tremendous. Overpopulation is one of the
biggest challenges humanity is facing and threatens the near future of the planet in
economic, environmental and social terms.

 Modern Family Planning Method (Natural and
Lesson Artificial)

What I Need to Know

In this lesson, you will be able to know the different modern family planning. As you go
along, you will understand the importance of the different family planning.
Family planning means planning by individuals or couples to have only the children
they want, when they want them. So, it is connected to responsible parenthood. Family
welfares includes not only planning of births, but the welfare of whole family by means of
total family health care. The family welfare programme has high priority because its
success depends upon the quality of life of all people.
The over-all goal of family planning is to provide universal access to family planning
information and services wherever and whenever these are needed. It aims to contribute to
reduce infant deaths, neonatal deaths, and maternal deaths.

What's In

The duties, roles and responsibilities of parents play an integral part to uphold the
rapid growth of population in a nation. The parents’ contribution helps a lot to control the
successive increase of population. Parenthood also takes place to lessen the congested
quantity of people living on earth.
It cannot deny nowadays, rapid growth of population is visible. Because of this, various
illnesses or issues and conflicts exist and needs to resolve it.
This is how the modern family planning contributes to avoid the effects of rapid growth
of population. This maybe somehow the solution to ease the burden of the family in poverty
and hunger.

What is It

FAMILY PLANNING
Is choosing the numbers of children in a family and the length of time between their
births. There are two types of modern family planning. These are natural and artificial
family planning.
Natural Family Planning
Is also called fertility awareness or the rhythm method, relies an abstinence from sexual
intercourse during the most fertile phase of a woman’s menstrual cycle.

3 Methods to predict ovulation:

1. Basal Body Temperature method: a woman’s resting temperature rises between 0.4
and 0.8 F on the day of ovulation and stays elevated until the next menstrual period.
Using a special (basal body) thermometer, a woman needs to take her temperature
every morning before getting out of bed.
2. Cervical Mucus Method: right before ovulation, the mucus from the cervix changes
from being cloudy and scanty to being clear and slippery. The consistency of
ovulation mucus is like that of an egg white and it can be stretched between the
fingers.. After the ovulation, the mucus tends to dry up again.
3. Calendar Method: with regular menstrual periods can guess when ovulation occurs
by looking at a record of their cycles. If a reasonable estimates can be made of when
the next menstrual cycle will begin, subtracting 14 days from the estimated date will
give the approximate day of ovulation.

Artificial Method of Family Planning

1. Injectable Contraception (Depo-Provera): Depo medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-
Provera or DMPA) is an injectable synthetic hormone that prevents pregnancy for 13
weeks at a time. The hormone is like the one produced by the body (progesterone) to
regulate the menstrual cycle. DMPA works mainly by preventing ovulation- the
process by which an egg released from the ovary. It also thickens the cervical mucus
which may keep sperm from joining the egg.
2. IUD (Intrauterine Device): is a small device placed inside the uterus for birth control.
It is thought to primarily prevent fertilization by creating an intense inflammatory
reaction inside the uterus that is harmful for sperm, either destroying sperm or
making it nearly impossible for sperm to reach the fallopian tubes. Secondarily, the
IUD also makes the uterus unsuitable for implantation.
3. Birth Control Pills: are pills which are taken by mouth everyday to prevent
pregnancy. Combined birth control pills are the most common type and contain both
female sex hormones- estrogen and progesterone (in the form of progestin). The pill
works mainly by preventing the ovaries from releasing eggs (ovulation). Secondarily,
it may also prevent fertilization from occurring by thickening the cervical mucus
which impedes
4. Diaphragm: is a dome-shaped latex cap that is first coated with spermicidal gel or
cream and then placed high in the vagina before intercourse. It is a physical barrier
to sperm entering the cervix but, more importantly, it holds the spermicidal cream or
gel against the cervix thus immobilizes sperm near the cervical canal.
5. Condoms: or sheath was known in Europe as early as the 16th century. It was then
made of animal gut or linen. Modern condoms are made of rubber.
6. Female Condoms: is a thin polyurethane sheath which lines the vagina and some of
the external genitalia. It is a barrier method of birth control and does not contain a
spermicide.
7. Cervical cap: is a soft rubber cup to which spermicide is added before it is placed
snugly over the cervix. It presents a physical barrier to sperm and kills those sperm
which do come in contact with the spermicide.
8. Spermicides: are chemicals which kill sperm. They are available in many different
forms: suppository, foam, cream, gel, film and tablets. The active ingredient in most
spermicidal is nonoxynol-9, which may also offer protection against sexuality
transmitted diseases.
9. Sterilization: is a simple operation for both men and women. It is a one-time method
of birth control which is permanent and requires no effort other than getting the
procedure done.
10. Withdrawal; refers to a pregnancy prevention method where the man pulls the penis
out of the vagina before ejaculation into the vagina.

Two Kinds of Sterilization:

1. Vasectomy for men
2. Tubal ligation for women
1. Vasectomy: is a permanent method of birth control for men. It is a surgical procedure
which is done under local anesthesia. The vas deferens is blocked- the tube that carries
the sperm from the testicle to the opening of the penis. After a vasectomy, sperm will
not be present in the semen and pregnancy cannot occur. The procedure is done under
local anesthesia and takes only 15-20 minutes. There is no need of any overnight stay.
2. Female Sterilization: is a permanent method of birth control which requires surgery.
The surgery involves blocking the fallopian tubes by cutting them, electrically sealing
them, or putting clips/rings (spring clip/Falope clip) on them. Pregnancy does not occur
because the sperm cannot the reach the egg (fertilization). The procedure is done under
local or general anesthesia, usually using a laparoscope. The laparoscope makes it
possible to do the surgery with an incision of only about ½. It has therefore been called
the band-aid operation because of the minimal amount of disruption to the skin. Most
women do not stay overnight.
