Why can’t scientists just say that the formula for good parenting is doing specific activities with children?

Because being a parent is much more than just hanging around with their kid(s). You have to actually be there for them. Not only do activities with them, but teach them good morals, provide for them, give them a roof over their head, food, water, and all the necessities of life. They need to impart knowledge and wisdom based on their own experiences, and they need to actually care. They need to not be under any influence and be morally well in order to raise the child right. They need to cultivate good manners and instill good morals, as well as help build character and allow their child to develop and grow. They also need to be stable and not harmful or abusive, and in the right position to be caring for a kid. It's not that some kids don't deserve parents; it's that some parents don't deserve kids. They need to build a strong relationship with their kids and bond with them. Again, there is much more to being a good parent than just being a parent.

Hope that helps! <3
