Mar 21, 2012
Utah State University researchers spent 15 years studying families enrolled in the “U.S. Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project” and determined the range of influence early parent-child engagement has on later academic achievement is significant.

“It is important for parents to engage with their children during the vital, early stages of brain development, because that early exposure to cognitive stimulation with both mothers and fathers can have a long-lasting and positive influence on the educational success of at-risk children.”
