1. foster parents = people who have children living in their existing
family for a fixed period, with the original parents’ agreement
Being a foster parent is a difficult and tiring role, I can imagine.
2. guardians = people who are legally appointed to protect a child’s
interests in the absence of parents
In some countries, the government appoints a guardian if the parents
die or experience severe difficulties.
3. role models = people that children look to and respect as good
examples
In some countries, the royal family are good role models for youngsters,
although in other cases this is not the case.
4. ground rules = basic rules governing the way people can behave in a
situation
During the school holidays, my parents had strict ground rules for what
we could do outside.
5. conventions = traditions or social norms that most people follow
It’s a convention for grandparents to live with their children in many
countries.
6. codes of conduct = voluntary rules which people accept in a situation
The Boy Scouts have a firm code of conduct, which seems to be a
positive influence.
7. bullying = when children attack and intimidate other children
Bullying could be reduced through better awareness and positive peer
pressure in schools.
8. truancy = when a pupil leaves school without permission (verb = to
play truant from school)
I must confess that at secondary school I sometimes played truant and
went to the park with my friends.
9. delinquency = minor crime (often by young people)
Delinquency is a huge problem in urban areas, especially when policing
is minimal.
10. abduction = the crime of taking or kidnapping people for a
criminal reason
Child abduction is a great concern for many parents, especially in South
America.
