Abstract
In contemporary society, the educational environment has undergone profound changes, and parents' role in education faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities. This article deeply analyzes the current state of the parental role in contemporary education, points out the limitations of traditional role positioning, and re-examines the parental role from multiple dimensions, including as the child's first mentor, emotional supporter, learning partner, bridge between home and school, and learner of self-growth. Furthermore, it offers corresponding reflections and suggestions on the problems parents may encounter during this role transition, aiming to help parents better adapt to the educational needs of the new era and provide strong support for the holistic development of their children.
