The correct answer is A. A parent hugs his child before bedtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Responsible parenting implies parents care about the child's needs (emotional needs, physical needs, social needs, etc) and act according to this without being permissive. In this way, parents act assertively to raise responsible, independent children. One of the factors that contribute to responsible parenting is that they show love as this is related to the emotional needs of children without spoiling him/her which means love is shown through care, hugs, nice words, respect, etc. rather than objects.

According to this, the statement that is an example of responsible parenting is "A parent hugs his child before bedtime" because this shows the parent is responding assertively to the emotional needs of the child. Also, buying the latest video game, being strict or picking the child late show the parent is not acting assertively or being responsible.
