Parents' is used in the plural form for both parents, so there is an apostrophe after the letter -s, as in parents' house. This is because the word is first pluralized to parents with the addition of the letter -s. Parents who use physical discipline may be teaching their child to resolve conflicts with physical aggression.

The job of parenting aims to ensure children's health and safety, prepare children for life as productive adults, transmit cultural values, and more.
