intentional parenthood

Intentional parenthood is the conscious decision to become a parent, involving thoughtful planning and consideration of one's readiness and capacity to care for a child. It emphasizes deliberate choices about timing, methods, and preparedness, rather than parenthood occurring by chance. This approach often includes evaluating personal, financial, and emotional factors to ensure a supportive environment. The goal is to foster responsible and meaningful parenting, recognizing the significant role and long-term commitment involved in raising a child.
