The parentification done to a child

The parentification done to a child can be done by various actors. In a certain context, a stranger saying to a child "take care of your sister" can be a part of parentification, and the accumulation of such influences on the child by society constitutes societal parentification; however role-play as a caretaker of siblings can be relatively adaptive.G. Eiríksson. Excessive parentification is maladaptive.
"The parentification process denotes a relationship between a child and a parent, which involves multi-layers of impact on the child’s development." (Tam 2009)Oi Kuen Wong Tam, A dissertation submitted to Auckland University of Technology
