The Power of Parental Engagement
Parental engagement is critical for children's academic success and is supported by decades of research. Effective parental involvement includes maintaining high expectations for children and consistently communicating these expectations to both the child and their school. When parents express high hopes for their children, it fosters a sense of motivation and self-efficacy in students. Conversely, perceived lower expectations can damage a child’s engagement and belief in their own abilities, making it essential for parents to find a balance in their approach.
