“Without our being especially conscious of the transition, the word parent has gradually come to be used as much as a verb as a noun. Whereas we formerly thought mainly about being a parent, we now find ourselves talking about learning how to parent. . . . It suggests that we may now be concentrating on action rather than status, on what we do rather than what or who we are.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
