Parent Involvement In Early Education

987 Words4 Pages

“In this composite world, it takes more than a good school to educate children. And it takes more than a good home. It takes these two vital educational institutions working together.”
-Dorothy Rich Parental involvement in a child’s early education is always found to be positively associated with a child’s academic performance ( Hara& Burke, 1998; Hill & Craft, 2003; Marcon, 1999). Children’s behavior, both in school and out, is closely related to the family act and their home environment. Snyder and Patterson (in Sheldon, 2009) came to the conclusion twenty years ago, that there are certain factors that are predictive of misbehavior among juveniles. These factors are, for instance, neglectful and submissive parenting styles, lax disciplinary …show more content…

Amenable to change, such as parent involvement, and the tool by which these practices influence academic performance, program may be developed to increase a child’s academic performance. Although parent involvement has been found to be related to increased academic performance, the specific mechanisms through which parent exerts its influence on a child’s academic performance are not yet fully understood (Hill & Craft, 2003). Parental involvement has been defined and measured in multiple ways, including activities that parents gain at home and at school and positive attitudes parents have towards their child’s education, school, and teacher ( Epstein, 1996; Gronick&Slowiaczek, 1994; Kohl, Lengua, & McMahon, …show more content…

Parent’s involvement may have a greater effect if it focuses on the area where the child needs most. For example, Sheldon and Epstein (2005) found that movement that engage families and children in discussing mathematics at home can contribute to great academic performance in mathematics when compared to other types of involvement. Additionally, while several research suggests that parent involvement may positively affect the academic performance of secondary students (Ton, 2005), other research indicates that parent involvement has a greater impact on the academic achievement of elementary-aged pupils than of secondary school students (Cooper et al., 2000, cited in Jordan, Orozco, & Averret,

  • Family Dynamics And Juvenile Delinquency

    1740 Words  | 7 Pages

    Two major themes of family dynamics and childhood victimization are a constant thread found in juvenile delinquency research and literature. Specific family structures contribute to the likelihood of delinquency more than others. Nuclear, blended, parental cohabitation, single parent, and incarcerated parent family structures affect the incidences of juvenile delinquency to varying degrees. Adding one variable on top of others compounds the stressors that increase the probability of juvenile delinquency. Each style of the family unit has traits that alter the risk of delinquency.

On the other hand, some parents do not make any effort to help their children at home although "the family is the most influential context for learning" (Copple & Bredekamp, 2009).

    We all know that parents, since the child is born, are always by their child’s side since they share a same home and should be the one to monitor their children while he or she is growing up. David P. Farrington (Farrington, n.d) stated that family factor, poor parental child-rearing methods especially lack of guidance and control from parents, is the most common answer when people are asked about the main cause of crimes. Moreover, according to Lieb Roxanne (1994), family components can predict an early sign of delinquency. Some weak way of predictions are based on the socioeconomic status of the family, and the less affection of the child to parents. However, the lack of guidance and letting the child to feel being unwanted is a strong predictor or root of

    In the education systems in the U.S, family engagement is always considered a factor that contributes to student achievement. However, based on information learned in class thus far, family engagement is not always required for academic achievement. For example, we have studied the education system in Finland, and they have a low rate of parent involvement. The parents in Finland are not as involved in their children’s school life as they are in the U.S. Although, parents in Finland care about their children’s education they do not believe they need to be extremely hands-on.

  • Overlapping Spheres Of Influence Theory

    822 Words  | 4 Pages

    Chapter 4 The most commonly accepted contemporary framework for viewing parental involvement was inspired by the ecological model of Bronfenbrenner (1979, 1986) and designed from a social and organisational perspective (Epstein, 1992). It identifies three major contexts within which children develop and learn: the family, the school, and the community (see Figure). The Overlapping Spheres of Influence model recognises that there are some practices that family, school and community conduct separately and that there are others that they conduct jointly in order to influence the growth and learning of the child. According to Epstein, successful partnerships must be forged between these three spheres in order best to meet the needs of the child.

  • Summary Of Intergenerational Effects Of Parents Math Achievement And Anxiety

    In the article, “Intergenerational Effects of Parents’ Math Anxiety on Children’s Math Achievement and Anxiety,” authors Maloney, Ramirez, Gunderson, Levine, and Beilock (2015) address the issue of a parent’s preexisting anxiety relating to mathematics and how it can affect student attitudes and performance of elementary aged children in the mathematics classroom. Elementary aged children who get behind academically often struggle through their entire academic career (Committee on Early Childhood Mathematics, 2009). Since parents are one of the biggest influences in a child’s academic success, this relationship needs to be investigated. The authors in this study tested the hypothesis that students who get help on their math homework from

  • Summary: The Importance Of Parent Engagement

    The role of a parent is essential in the development and engagement is crucial. An African proverb states that it takes a community to raise a child, therefore child development and empowerment is very crucial to the life of an African child. Children draw inspiration and strength from what they see their parents do, and the development and engagement of most children is mostly influenced by the ways of life of the parents. Parent involvement and parent engagement are frequently used interchangeably and when differentiated, the descriptions are most times not stable. From a grammar standpoint, parent involvement inclines to suggest what learning institutions are doing to parents i.e. informing parents exactly how to contribute, whilst parent
