The reviewed literature provides an overview of the mother's role in family-based child education, thereby identifying existing research gaps on this topic. Through a combination of keyword analysis and examination of relevant research works, the insights and conclusions presented in this paper offer a guidance for future research. The paper is part of the results of the Ministry-level scientific research project “The role of mothers in educating children in family adapting to the context of digital transformation”
