The Impact of Parent Involvement
• Important for parents to be involved in their
children’s education
• Parents shape their children’s beliefs and attitudes
towards school and schoolwork
• The earlier and more direct parent’s involvement in
their child’s educational progress, the more positive
the impact on the child’s academic results and
experience of schoolwork.

challenges] plays a big part in whether child remains motivated
