Parent-Focused Interventions In Economically Developing Countries, Jen Jackson, Syeda Kashfee Ahmed, Toby Carslake, Petra Lietz

Monitoring Learning

The authors conducted a scoping review of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) interventions in economically developing countries between 1998 and 2017, aimed at improving children’s learning in the years before school. The review identified 37 parent-focused studies from 19 countries which provide an evidence base for parent-focused interventions that have both depth and geographical breadth. This policy note outlines characteristics of these interventions which contribute to changes in developmental outcomes for children. It found that of all ECEC interventions, the largest body of effectiveness evidence is available for parent-focused programs.

Education For Parenthood., Zoe Benjamin

Future of Education

It would be absurd to expect that all parents should be perfect; but with adequate facilities for education and training, we could have, in each generation, a steadily increasing number of men and women capable of carrying out their parental responsibilities with wisdom. [p.5]

The author then proceeds to offer advice to parents on assisting in the education of children at various age levels. This includes many topics, from how they spend their leisure time to making sure they meet their psychological needs.
