Abstract
With the change in the location of school education from the classroom to the home during the COVID-19 outbreak, there should be more educational caregiving from children’s parents when children learn online. Parental involvement in children’s online learning including study guide and psychological counseling is the specific content of educational caregiving, which is different from face-to-face learning. More attention should be paid to parental involvement and parents’ satisfaction with the online learning effect. This study therefore conducted a survey on middle school students’ parents to establish a moderating model, exploring the influence of parental involvement on parent satisfaction, and the number of children and parental education level as the moderator variables influencing parental involvement. The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between parental involvement and satisfaction, while the parental education level and the number of children both have a moderating effect on the relationship between parental involvement and parent satisfaction. The moderating effect of the education level of parents shows negative, while the moderating effect of the number of children is positive. An interesting finding is that the number of children has a very low influence on parental involvement.

Summary
A novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing a worldwide outbreak (Cheng and Shan, 2020). Online learning has changed the school educational location from the classroom to the home. Parental involvement is a key component of both traditional face-to-face and non-traditional forms of online education, including public schools, charter schools, and homeschooling. Russell (2004) argued that parental involvement in online education may be more important than in traditional schools. Parental education level has a very important influence on parents’ involvement in their children’s learning (Krenz, 2010). Parent satisfaction with online learning reflects the quality of online education at the family level. School teachers and administrators are working hard to ensure a high-quality online education for students, but parents, as major stakeholders, may not be satisfied (Sharma and Kiran, 2021). There are few studies on parent satisfaction with online education
