Abstract :
Childhood, especially in the early years, is one of the most sensitive stages of human development in which many cognitive, emotional, social, and moral foundations are formed. During this period, the family, and especially parents, are the first and most important agents of child education. The purpose of this research was to examine the concept of "parent school" as an intermediary institution between the family and the educational system, and a platform for empowering parents.

Unlike linear and reductionist models, this space is based on the emergence of new qualities from the living and multidirectional interactions of parents with each other, with the school institution, and with their children.
