From the Paper:

"Before, it was believed that a parent of a child was just responsible for the child's emotional development, and a child's intellectual development was the responsibility of the educational system. Now, it is seen quite differently. "Participants in family literacy programs usually include children, single parents, or another close family member the term "parent" refers to anyone fulfilling the responsibilities usually associated with the parent of a child" (par. 2). As children are not normally within the educational system from birth to three years of age, the act of shifting the responsibility of intellectual development to that system is a failure. Only parents and/or caregivers have contact with children so young, making them (parents or caregivers) the first teachers of children."
