The Influence of Parental Involvement on Childrens Academic Performance

Due to the fact that many people today, especially students, are paying more attention to the standard of education. Therefore, the impact on parental involvement on childrens academic performance is becoming more and more essential. Reviewing the research that has been done in the past years, authors find that the definition of parental involvement varies from macro to micro, and the relationship between the parental involvement and childrens academic performance is similar in different regions or countries. Moreover, whether parents are attending parent-teacher conferences and whether they assist or give a supported learning environment to their child can lead to children having a higher performance in education. Other factors like parents regularly communicating with teachers and understanding the challenges and strengths can create a positive environment for their child. However, over pressuring their child towards their education may lead to many negative impacts. As a result, by preventing negative impacts from happening, and analyzing these data, recommendations can be made like suggesting parents to be more involved in their childrens activities that are related to education and paying more attention to the feelings of their children whilst being with them.
