were related to this quantitative approach study. A questionnaire with Cronbach
Alpha values of 0. 797 for linguistic development, 0. 756 for cognitive
development, 0. 740 for social development, and 0. 756 for emotional
development. (0.891). Utilising the Likert scale method, the research
questionnaire was distributed to the research sample via Google Forms. The
relevant study data was collected from 283 individuals and parents from 25
Chinese preschool classrooms using a random sampling technique. According to
the findings and information gathered, the data was examined. The findings
utilising Spearman's Correlation demonstrated a highly significant association
between parental participation and child development in the areas of
communication language (0.559), early math (0.583), and socioemotional (0.448)
at a confidence level of p 0.05. According to the study's conclusions, parenting
