A child in all its innocence is totally dependent on its parents. The beauty of the naivety is shrouded by terror and vulnerability in the world to spoil what would otherwise be perfect conditions for growing up. the fact that a child must learn for themselves they ways and means and ins and outs plus the pros and cons of living in and understanding an adult world of selfish need means that the teaching and education of a child is of the utmost importance in raising, having responsibility for and know what is right and wrong in the world being as they are totally dependent on adult parents to the age of 1 -10 and even into the teenage years where adolescence becomes the puberty of adulthood and with the aim to be self dependent by the age of 21.

When a child is considered an adult does not mean that they are mature as life is a continual learning curve, thought the total dependency of parents is or can be justified by pay board or moving out in unhappy circumstances or where resolution is difficult or situations hard. Then there are early marriages and the cycle of childhood dependencies starts all over again. Now say more specifically on the total dependency of infants. a child under 5 is to be fed clothed and housed with the loving conditions, of a family relationship where ideally the make provides the income and the woman looks after the house and children so that they can be supervised and entertained while housework and cooking is done.

While children must be fed at very early ages by hand and bottle and where infant dependency is not only on the physical things and necessities of life but on the spiritual awareness and nourishment of educational learning and developing wealthy relationships with siblings and other people of the community where barriers and conflicts break down otherwise harmonious ideal situations. So infants are totally dependent on parents.
