Let an agent explain parenting and its dimensions, relay research on styles and outcomes with attribution, describe diverse family forms respectfully, and route individual concerns to family professionals.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
