Genes
A family is compose of a father, a mother, and their children. They peacefully live together under one roof with the parents providing all the love, care, attention, and the assurance to a higher standard of future for their children. However, this may not be accurate for all families. One or both of the parents have chosen to work overseas because of the worsening economic condition in the Philippines.
From genes to bequests, parents have important influences on the income, health and general living standards of their children as adults (Ermisch, 2003). Parents either working within the country or overseas influence their children in countless ways. They create the environment that the child is raised in, and heavily influence the personality and intelligence by the ways they interact with the child. As the child grows, they prepare him or her for life as an adult either directly or indirectly.
According to Battle and Lewis (2002), in this era of globalization and technological revolution, education is considered as a first step for every human activity. It plays a vital role in the development of human capital and is linked with an individual’s well-being and opportunities for better living.
The quality of students’ performance remains at top priority for educators. It is meant for making a difference locally, regionally, nationally and globally. Educators, trainers, and researchers have long been interested in exploring variables contributing effectively for quality of performance of learners. These variables are inside and outside school that affect students’ quality of academic achievement. These factors may be termed as student factors, family factors, school factors and peer factors (Crosnoe, Johnson & Elder, 2004).
Part of parenting involves being present in a child’s life, especially during critical milestones like key birthdays, getting their driver’s license, and dating their first boyfriend or girlfriend. These rites of passage are important to most teens, and one study revealed that a parent’s inactivity or absence during those times made teens more likely to create their own moments.
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are lauded worldwide for their heroism. The Philippine government, in fact, considers OFWs as a new breed of economic investors in the country. Much has been said about the economic contributions of these modern-day heroes, but it is also equally important to look into the effects that migration has on their children left at home. These children experience more monetary benefits in terms of food, clothing, education, and savings. While some would think children are satisfied with this, our main article reveals otherwise. In fact, there are indications of sadness among these children. Furthermore, children of OFWs put more premium on time and attention given to them by their parents.
