The question is why do parents become involved in various aspects of their children’s education, when they do become so involved and how does their involvement influence school outcomes. I am trying to explore, the parental role in children’s development which includes participation in their children 's education. These questions encouraged me to choose the topic.

The most important social environment for children through childhood and adolescence is that of the family. A child learns primarily from his parents before entering school. Even during the schooling years, parental influence plays a profound role in the child’s development. During
