Parent's Involvement in Children's Education

ABSTRACT

The importance of parental involvement as an accelerating and motivating factor in the education of their children is a worldwide accepted fact. The research provides a detailed explanation with specific reasons, the importance of parental involvement in their children's education. It also outlines the parenting techniques, their types and their consequences for non-compliance. It also describes the ways the result of the actionpositive involvement of parents. He also mentions the teachers involvement and the difficulties in which the teacher Getting parents involved in their children (this is further supported by the children examples of two teachers who won the conscious efforts of their parents to devote their maximum attention to ), single-parent involvement, children's own efforts to improve their academic levels of intervention and the common home-school. Adetailed analysis of the different main ideas is given, based on results from other surveys and projects.

INTRODUCTION:

The involvement of parents see themselves in three ways: 1) Behavioral fall, 2) Intellectual and 3) his personal. The research examined the effect of multi-dimensional participation of parents and the resulting progress of children in their studies with different parental resources were dedicated to them. Actively involved parents help their children intheir academic development, adding to the schools and participation in the open door. With sharply observed the behavior of their children they can properly assess the type of behavior or the allocation of resources needed by their children. Such caring parents can also motivate teachers to be attentive to a particular student, thus maintaining the cycle of parent-teacher involvement. Encourage building cognitive skills and the perception of a child is an important concern in educationof the child. The way parents learn to integrate their children in learning by them to different cognitively stimulating activities and materials such as books, electronic media and current events at home. This helps the child to understand all types of language skills practice in the school. The results show a remarkably positive behavior at school and with peers.

Two processes Parenting Parenting namely the supportive (SP) and strict upbringing (HP) helped much in the research of the involvement of parents in the education of their children. By adjusting the amount of supportive parenting, different levels of the positive results were observed. Supportive parenting in kindergarten students even showed positive results. Four measures supportive parenting were used in the study, they were:

1st Proactive teaching.

2nd Peaceful discussion in disciplinary encounters.

3rd Heat.

4th Interest and involvement in peer> Activities.

The evaluations were conducted when the children entered kindergarten and when they reach level 6. It was a factor noted to hinder children's development: family adversity. It was the result of a multi-negative process that included the risk of low socioeconomic status, to emphasize single-parenthood and family. Child maladjustments were found to more frequently in families with such adversities. No matter how much negative impacts were cast, SP was foundTo overcome the risks associated with family adversity. SP had been heavily on adjustment methods in grade 6 children, single parents or experienced low socio-economic status (SES) says in her early childhood.

In a way to socialize their children, adoptive parents the techniques of calm discussion and proactive teaching. They helped lessen the behavioral problems by long discussions with their children, the care in them a sense of respect, calmness and peaceMind. Mothers also active in the reduction of peer stress in their children. It is also a widely accepted fact that supportive parenting plays an important role competence in the child's development of empathy, prosocial behavior and emotional. On the negative side, the lack of a supportive parenting related to the development of internal problems such as anxiety and depression.

Lack of necessary care and attention of parents is the most important factor forthe subsequent rise in the proportion of juvenile delinquency (crime among children). To develop the absence of parental instructions causes children to irreversible behavioral and emotional problems. You to seek attention, resort to crimes thinking that she could meet them in their wishes. You can return to uncontrolled violence if not kept in one eye. Such criminal acts can not be depression, to a halt until their distressing symptoms of low self-esteem,dysphonic mood, tension and worry, and other disturbances are relieved. And the importance of parents' role in this area can not be overemphasized.

In an attempt to describe the involvement of parents, many researchers use a term "Transition" (Lombardi, Joan). "Transition" is used to describe school of the period, the children from home to move in, from the school after school activities, from one activity to another within a pre-school, or from pre-to kindergarten. The tireless efforts of teachers in the phenomenon of transition can not be ignored. They prepared the children and their parents who have problems adjusting to the school, that various programs had psychology, teaching methods and structure than the programs offered in kindergarten-level face. In the elementary schools, the teachers, the parents had to face serious challenges to motivate to participate in activities of the interest in their children.The teacher took different methods to activities involving parents in day-to-day classroom and at home. They used to send notes, invitation of parent-teacher meetings, invitation for parental guidance sessions and training sessions, continuously directing the attention of parents towards their children. Patricia Brown Clark suggests, it's open very important line of communication between teachers and parents, so keep the parents interact with teachers and isget the latest information from the school of their children's activities. One way to involve the parents is to schedule schools and teaching arrange activities such as volunteering for the libraries as a classroom helper or efficiently organizing lunch breaks. The teachers also opt for telephone calls to the children of the houses to the parents to stay in touch and getting to know of know how much they contribute to their well-beingChildren. Apart from the above activities, the teachers also assign home activities for both parents and their children, so parents keep their children and get pampered in the children study at home after. However, it was a bad and disappointing experience for the teachers, when many of the parents failed to respond as expected. Many of the parents were so overwhelmed with their official work that they hardly take time out for their belovedChildren.

In addition, some parents have their training was not positive and character-growth experiences, so they moved it good to keep a distance from the school of their children. That made it very difficult and sometimes impossible, for teachers to bring the participation of parents at the desired level. However, activities of two teachers proved very fruitful to make the parents involved in their children. They were Carlos Valdez, an artTeachers and 8 Class class sponsor, and Mike Hogan, the school band director. They did it by involving parents in music festivals and other ceremonies of the school. They proved to be great examples for future teachers to come.

If the children are school development programs prove successful they must share two characteristics:

1) developmentally appropriate practice:

A child that scientific progress is clearly reflected by the corresponding practicehe / she administers while in school life. During the transition of learning from preschool to kindergarten, a child, if inclined, given the exact developmentally appropriate practice to a great language and musical skills. He developed a strong interest in exploring their environment and interacting (without hesitation) with his parents.

2) Support Services:

These include the support that the school offers low-income family students. The services include health care, child care andCommunity Care This strengthens the relationship between school and children and creates a sense of security and confidence among the children. You get to learn that their communities part of their school since the school support services strive to help community development.

It is commonly assumed that children are good self-teachers. My self-initiated strategies to improve their expression, creativity, intellectual abilities and extracurricular qualifications.This idea is Emilia proved by the documentation of children's work made available to the Reggio:

"The Reggio Emilia educators highlight young children's amazing capabilities and show that IT-level by the unity of thought and feeling that young children explore their world, represent their ideas and communicate with others at the highest." (Edwards, Pope. C, Springate, Wright.K)

The peak lies in the fact that, as the parentswould know that their sincere commitment to really prove worthwhile for their children. The answer lies in the attitude of the children. The degree of involvement of parents, a child's attitude will be judged on his school subjects, his academic desires and achievements. There is a direct relationship between academic performance and attitude to school. Schunk in 1981 had the following idea of aspiration or academic requests:

"Aspiration level is defined asown subjective probability that he or she is to achieve a certain level of education. "(Abu, H. & Maher, M)

As a result, children receive adequate parental care were found to be much more confidence in their academic achievements and aspirations as those who could not come, the right amount of parental care.
The individual involvement of mothers and fathers also plays a crucial role in the behavioral development of a child. Students from single-parent household wereobserved to show less positive attitude towards school and studies, as the students compared from two-parent households. A study in the custody investigation aimed showed that served despite the sincere efforts of mothers, the role of fathers could not be ignored, and both as an important foundation for the future progress of the child. This can be proved by the following fact:

A recent report from the National Center for Educational Statistics (1997), compared toColleagues, children with involved fathers tend, for example, have taken their "educational activities with their parents (to have visited in months, a museum or a historic site with her parents in the past), and tend to have access to multiple types of resources to home as well (as measured by the ratio of parents, community or professional organizations or members regularly volunteer in the community). (Flouri, E. and Buchanan, A,Pg.142)

The involvement of the parents discussed and implemented in the form of interventions or prevention programs that take nothing but security measures are healthy and perfect child's education should be ensured. The study uses school and home intervention programs only to find out, found the level of intellectual abilities in children from different families. The success of a school-based interventions can be demonstrated by the following fact, which was a partof "Education Service Improvement Plan 2001-2005" of Edinburgh:

---- The Scottish Executive Discipline Task Force, the causes of poor student behavior in schools investigated a report of the "better behavior - Better Learning 'in June 2001. The report contained 36 recommendations for action that were then translated into an action plan in 2002. Many of these have implications for the Education Authority. (Craig Millar Instep Project)
