Parental involvement before birth (8)
I believe the answer is:
prenatal
'before birth' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'parental involvement' is the wordplay.
'involvement' is an anagram indicator.
'parental' with letters rearranged gives 'PRENATAL'.
(Other definitions for prenatal that I've seen before include "During pregnancy" , "Prior to delivery" , "Prior to birth" .)
