Parenting refers to the act of raising and caring for a child, involving activities such as providing emotional support, guidance, and discipline. Parenthood, on the other hand, refers to the state or condition of being a parent, encompassing the roles, responsibilities, and relationships associated with having children. While parenting is the active practice of raising a child, parenthood is the overarching identity and status of being a parent.

For general use there is very little difference, the term parenting has become the more favoured word.

Parenting means the rearing of children, the methods and techniques used by a father or mother, a protector or guardian.

Parenthood, is or was, more informal, refering to a person acting as a father or mother or relating to the position of a parent to the children
