To understand the importance or the extent to which parents are involved in their child’s life it’s significant to grasp on what might cause parental relationship with their children to decline. Parents’ educational level can influence the degree to which a child may be nurtured due to socioeconomic factors such as income, marital status and occupation. As a result, parental involvement might vary based on resources available to one’s environment. However, the questions will also aid in comprehending and comparing the similarities and differences between parental involvement among single and double parent households.
