Children's hospice care

Article Abstract:

Children's hospice care must focus less in connection with an institution and more on its approach and philosophy. An ideal hospice care has several characteristics. The care given must be on an individual basis, meeting a patient's particular needs. It must also be holistic, taking in the total person instead of concentrating on one organ or part. Hospice care must also be extended to the family of the patient, and, lastly, it must be handled by experts and professionals. Hospice care must also give the proper attention to the dying and grieving children and the grieving adult relatives.

Assessing parents' involvement in their children's schooling

Article Abstract:

A study on the parents' involvement with their children's schooling reveals that 47% of parents are involved with their children's homework on a daily basis. The data indicate that parents' educational level is not related to their involvement with homework. Although a raise in the level of parents' education increases parental involvement with school, the number of meetings attended by the parents is not dependent on the educational level. There is a significant relationship between parental involvement with the school and race.
