Parental involvement in education is when a parent participates in and supports their child’s education. Parents can also support their child by volunteering in the school their child is enrolled in and by participating in school and events in the community. Several contributing factors affect the process of parental involvement taking place in the school community. The environment and child’s background are a few of the issues that affect the school and community on the regular basis. I feel that quite a few issues should be addressed and looked into by school administration as well as educators. One of the most important concerns is the lack of guardian involvement in a child’s academic progress. The absence of guardian interaction affects the child’s self-esteem, performance in school, school climate, and interaction in the community. I have taught for the last five years and noticed pupils, who have guardians and caretakers seemingly disconnected from their student’s academic instruction display problems with remaining interested motivated and engaged in their education.…
-Children who excel at sports take pride in their accomplishments which boosts their self-esteem, same goes to children who succeed in artistic endeavors or leadership positions. Parents who are active in supporting their child are giving the kids the message that their accomplishments are noticed and considered. Therefore, parents should participate in their child’s clubs, sports, whether it’d be football and soccer, or piano lessons and art class.…
Ways in which the family environment may help a child in their development is likely to include a supportive parenting network, where there is a strong family tie, both parents engaging in the child's education and where there is strong interaction between the parents and the teaching staff at school. 'The parents have to be equal balance of love and limits, a child needs to have limits, boundaries, they have to have consequences but as a parent they need to put that in place in a loving way'…

The major role of a student’s family is to nurture and develop a child’s values, habits, and mindset about the future. Thus, the educational environment in a student’s home is one of the most important factors that mold a student’s attitude towards his/her studies. This educational environment includes variables such as parent’s press for achievement, academic guidance, and work habits of the family. A parent’s press for achievement includes their interest in their child’s academics, and how much pressure they put on their child to achieve…

Children who are encouraged and commended by parents and teachers develop a feeling of competence and belief in their skills. Those who receive little or no encouragement from parents, teachers, or peers will doubt their ability to be successful.…
When it comes to a breakfast of ham and eggs, the chicken is involved but the pig is committed. This old saying is roughly comparable to the issues facing our schools today, as they consider the kind of relationship they want to build with the parents of their students. (Dennis Shirley 1997) Overcoming systematic challenges such as closing the achievement gap, and ensuring that all students are ready for school, requires engaging parents as partners and champions for change in our school community.…
A positive impact from parents in a child’s younger days to their transition to adulthood is very important in the way the child performs. Caring for a crying baby after birth is just as important as disciplining a child as a teenager. Studies show that a child that still lives with both parents at the age of fourteen is more likely to graduate college and possibly further their education than a child that comes from a home with a single parent or possibly no parent. As a child starts school a good parent should be very heavily involved in their child’s school activities and should strive to make sure they are successful. When a child is in elementary school attending field trips and having lunch…
