    Will parental involvement be beneficial to students in education?

    Do you think that the chances of success in the life of a student can be increased if his/her parents are involved in his/her study? Or it should be left to the school and its education system. Is it just enough to pick your kids up and drop them at the bus stop safely?

    From potty training to eating food, a student remains solely dependable on his/her parents since childhood. But the question now is whether parental involvement in education will help students or not. If it does, then how they can be involved, or what role a parent play in the education process of their children? How can they find time for their child's education in spite of their so many responsibilities? What can be the strategies to promote productive parent engagement in their child's school?

    Let's have a discussion on the benefits of parental involvement in education and the advantage of dependence on teachers. Parents or teachers - who will have a stronger influence on the education of a student?

    Parents take care of their children in all ways and are instrumental in their upbringing. When children start going to school then they learn as per the school curriculum and subjects that teachers teach them. Parents should monitor what the children are learning in school and what is their progress and performance. It is very much necessary because that is the only link between school and home. If parents do not care about it and think that teachers will take care of the students then slowly a gap will develop and one day parents will come to know that the children were not doing well but it would be too late by then. So parents must monitor how the studies of the children are going on because if children are not interested in their studies then the parents will have to think of some alternative route where the student after attaining some basic qualifications can move for some certification or diploma for getting a job and making a living. But these decisions can only be taken by the parents. I strongly believe that the parent's role is very crucial in such matters between the school and home.
    Knowledge is power.

    Parental involvement in education can be highly beneficial for children. When parents actively participate in their child's education, it creates a positive and supportive learning environment. Parents can help their children with homework, provide guidance, and encourage good study habits. They can also communicate with teachers to understand their child's progress and address any concerns. By being involved, parents show their children that education is important and valued. This involvement can lead to increased motivation, better academic performance, and improved overall educational outcomes. When parents and schools work together, it strengthens the educational journey of the child and enhances their chances of success. Therefore, parental involvement in education is crucial and can greatly contribute to a child's educational development.
    Honesty is the best policy.

    I agree that parental involvement in a child's education is important. Outside the home, parents play an important role, bridging the gap between school and home. Monitoring progress ensures that the child's educational journey is going smoothly. It is important that they engage in dialogue, solve challenges and support their interests. Neglecting this duty can immediately prevent information from being discovered. Parents can motivate their children, explore new options, and make the right decisions for their future.

    Parental involvement at all stages is desirable and getting such feedback from their parents can help the children to know how far they are proceeding in the right direction. Their thinking abilities will certainly improve with the regular involvement of the parents. Parents especially the mothers drop their kids at the school bus stop and on arrival from school the kids are accompanied again by their mothers. Children have a lot of questions and the mothers are the best guides to solve their queries since their interactions proceed with a lot of warmth and closeness. The mother can ask a lot of questions relating to his behaviour with colleagues, teachers and even their involvement in the teaching process. Over time, the kids pick up a lot of information with the constant interactions with the parents. Hence parental involvement can nurture the personality of the children.

    It is a must to a parent to involve themselves in the children's education indirectly. In the evenings when the children return from school either father or mother or both should talk with their children in a friendly mode what was happening in the school on that day. This should never be in the checking mode but in a friendly mode so as the children will share the incidents whether good or bad happened in the school on that day. This will directly help the parents about the safety and danger to them in the school.
    Similarly if they casually talk to them daily they can automatically reveal the weak subjects etc., in the class room.
    My father, mother and other family members used to talk freely and we all sat around to eat dinner daily and during that time we casually talk with all about the incidents. This some times revealed the fighting between brothers in the school and parents advised us to not to do so and the approach should be very friendly.

    Educating children is the parental responsibility. Without their involvement how is it possible?
    Parents are the first teachers. As we have discussed even in formal education issues also a parent's involvement may become very crucial. During primary and secondary and higher secondary levels, a parent should advise and tune his/ her sons/ daughters properly so that they will excel in their education.
    Not only human beings. Even birds and animals also will teach their children about their ways and means of living with their infants.
    The involvement should be required only once they come to higher studies In fact, we should treat our children as our friends once they attain those maturity levels. Suggestions and advice are always ok but nothing should be forced on them.
