 Parabolic periods in the quadratic family

For every prime $p$, the polynomial $f_c^p(0)$ has a nonzero root, giving a superattracting cycle of exact period $p$. Moving in its hyperbolic component to a boundary point with cycle multiplier $-1$ gives a parabolic cycle of exact period $p$. Thus the set of parabolic periods in the quadratic family is infinite.
