Existence of laws and/or policies that guarantee services and assistance to parents in the performance of their child-rearing responsibilities
The Convention on the Rights of the Child establishes parents and other primary caregivers as children’s first educators. The Committee on the Rights of the Child in its General Comment No. 7 (paras. 15 to 21 and 29) elaborates in detail the parental responsibilities and the assistance States need to provide to the parents in performing their child-rearing responsibilities, especially at the early childhood.
