Text, or other visual information, that goes at the top of a column of information in a table.

That column should have the header "payment status".

The upper portion of a page (or other) layout.

If you reduce the header of this document, the body will fit onto a single page.
For parents

"header" means: The upper portion of a page (or other) layout.. This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than something dangerous. If your child uses it, context will usually make the meaning clear. A brief, curious question about where they heard it is generally enough to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

"header" means: The upper portion of a page (or other) layout.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
