Apostrophe s question [closed]

Do I need to add an apostrophe 's' to parents (parents') in the sentence below:

Which is correct:

Option A: This study seeks to compile recommendations for hearing parents parenting children with a hearing impediment.

Option B: This study seeks to compile recommendations for hearing parents' parenting children with a hearing impediment.

No apostrophe is necessary since "parenting" here is acting as a normal verb and not a gerund. As it is acting as a verb it is something the parents are doing, not something they 'own' in any sense.

If you said "The study provides recommendations for parents' parenting of children with a hearing impairment" the apostrophe would be needed as "parenting" would then be acting as a noun and the parenting would be a concept or action which was 'owned by' the parents rather than an action they were performing.
