Let's say I have the following module:

------------------------
module Parenting

  def add_child(a_child)
    self.children.push(a_child)
  end

  def delete_child(a_child)
    self.children.delete(a_child)
  end

  def children
    # need to implement
but is there a programtaic way to declare this?
  end

end
------------------------

Is there a way to enforce that the 'children' method is understood in
any class which includes this module?  Or do I simply rely on a
comment, as above
