Abstract
Early childhood is a critical period in a child's cognitive, emotional, and social development, and the importance of parents in this process cannot be overstated. Parents are their children's first teachers and role models, and their involvement in their children's education has a significant impact on their academic and overall success. This research paper investigates how parents can help their children's early childhood learning by creating a supportive learning environment, promoting positive attitudes toward learning, and actively participating in educational activities with their children. The paper also investigates the advantages of parental involvement in early childhood education and the impact it has on the child's later academic and life success.
