Who is a Parent?
A parent is anyone who provides children with basic care, direction, support, protection, and
guidance. Accordingly a parent can be single, married, cousin, aunt, uncle, grandparent, a court-
appointed guardian, a brother, a sister, an institution employee, a surrogate, a foster parent, or a
group such as happens when children live in a communal setting. There are nuclear families,
extended families, single- parent families, stepfamilies and blended families, foster parent families,
and homeless families. (Morrison, 1993)
The ATMSA family welcomes all of you aboard our learning starship!
