Parental involvement refers to the amount of participation a parent has when it comes to schooling and her child's life. Some schools foster healthy parental involvement through events and volunteer opportunities, but sometimes it's up to the parents to involve themselves with their children's education.

Early childhood education is beneficial for children ages 3, 4 and 5. It's also often referred to as preschool, pre-kindergarten, day care, nursery school or early education. No matter the name, each serves the same purpose: to prepare young children for their transition into elementary school.

Your child is finally old enough to begin pre-K. You worry, though, that he may not have the necessary skills to begin school with other children his age. The knowledge a preschooler needs to know before taking this big step is not extensive but provides a framework on which he will build and develop new skills.

The death of a child is a difficult event to have to go through regardless of the cause of the child’s passing. Writing an obituary for a child is usually an emotional task for the child’s parents or loved ones. The obituary must honor the child and help to celebrate his life, states Partnership for Parents.

Home-school offers parents a way to have more control over a child’s education and gives students a chance to learn in an environment that may be more conducive to their needs than a traditional academic setting.

The Harvard Family Research Project defines educational involvement of families as activities that parents conduct at home and in early childhood settings to directly or indirectly support their child's learning.
