Why a parent role is really important to the student’s success
Nobody can deny that there is a firm link between parents and education of their youngsters. Parents have a strong influence on their children’s successful development and educational progress. Their involvement is one of the most powerful predictors of the student success. When they are engaged in their child’s education, attainment improves and as a result, schools work better, families become closer, and students are more highly graded academically.
Effective parent involvement greatly benefits teachers, parents, children, and the school in general. Recent studies of the Australian university claim that when families are involved in the training process, children earn higher grades and receive excellent scores on tests, attend classes more frequently, effectively complete homework before deadline, demonstrate positive attitudes and behaviors, graduate from higher school at greater rates, and are most probably to enroll in higher education than students with their less involved parents. For these reasons, parent interaction with their youngsters is a crucial goal.
The people who benefit most from an efficient working relationship between families and teachers are kids. Here are some general advantages the young people gain when parents’ involvement is present in school:
- Improved academic achievements.
- Students have a more positive attitude toward school.
- They are more likely to continue studying past the age of 16.
- Children find it easier to learn when they receive encouragement at home.
- Attendance, behavior, and attainment upgrades.
- Kid-parent relationships are more positive.
- A sense of security and belonging is increasing.
At the same time, parents’ role in child education also benefits to the adults:
- They are able to support their offspring’s learning and development.
- They have more access to information about their kids education.
- There is improved understanding of the school process.
- Parent-child relationships advance.
Here is a list of things you can do to enhance your all abilities to be more successful helping your genius prepare for and succeed in school.
- Arrange a homework area in your house. The room should be free of distraction, well lit, with all necessary supplies handy.
- Establish a homework routine. The students who set up a regular routine are more organized and successful.
- Determine homework priorities. It is recommended to make the point that homework is the priority – before going out to play, before TV, or before a date.
- Encourage and motivate. This will help your child to get better results both in school and private life.
- Supervise their assignments. Never do your children’s homework. Checking is a positive method to help a young learner. But if you simply put in corrections without your kid understanding the mistakes, you are not helping him.
- Praise your children when they succeed. Be careful not to overpraise them as they feel when you are insincere.
- Stay online. The internet is the finest invention of our times and most indispensable tool for students of any age. It is impossible for the learner to succeed without well-developed computer skills and being constantly online.
- Turn off the TV. You should severely limit when and how much TV watching is acceptable. It may be the toughest suggestion to enforce.
- Talk to teachers. Find out what your child is supposed to be learning. If you don’t know the books he is reading, what is expected of him in class, and how much homework he is assigned, you won’t be capable of stretching a helpful hand.
Educators, families, and students are partners in education. They share responsibility for the learner’s success in school at all grade levels. Being partners, they are required to collaborate to create brilliant schools and support student training.
It is necessary to fully understand an immense role of parents in the educational process. If you want your children to easily adjust to school and much more comfortably overcome obstacles, you should show your interest in their education and cherish high expectations for their performance.

My son had special needs in school, so I was involved in meeting and planning the IEP with his teachers. It is important to play an active role in your children’s education. My daughter is 16 now and going into her junior year, amazed how the time flies by!
It is so true. Get involved with them and your child will do great
I try to get involved in my daughters school work as much as I can. She’s in Kindergarten right now, so it’s just small stuff, but I can really see what a difference it’s making. Thanks for sharing.
I do agree that nobody can underestimate the importance of parents in students’ education! I tried to be involved for my children as much as possible while they were in school.
Turn off the TV is the number one battle in my house! I should’ve started younger
Completely agree with this. My daughter is three and I stay home with her and she LOVES school work. When I watch her friends they have no interest in learning.
