Preliminary Research

INTRODUCTION
The home serves as the first school for children to learn. Teaching and learning are
significant to children, especially in essential learning of a child. The first seven years of a child's
life are essential to teaching him growth and development. It takes patience for parents to teach
their children, especially essential things to be taught, such as the Alphabet A, B, C to Z, counting,
and reading children's favorite storybooks. Additionally, due to the pandemic, children are now
modular, and parents lack time to teach their children because of household chores.
Everything from essential learning of a child can help and have benefited from their reading
skills. Children are more likely to perform when they watch something and can understand it and
perform it. This equipment helps the children grow and develop their skills; being a grown-up is
much work, so it can help parents not put all their time into teaching their children.
Robo means a Robot machine that can use to guide children to read and counts. Technology
from the Greek "Teche" allows for the operation to run the equipment. Together Robo-Teach ni
Nene and Junjun mean that it is a piece of valuable equipment used by children that parents not
being worried to teach their children; instead, they can use this Robo-Teach.

Parental participation in school has long been recognized as a significant and favorable
component in children's academic and socioemotional development on a global scale. Reciprocal
good connections between these two important socializing environments – families and schools –
contribute significantly to a child's socioemotional and cognitive development from an ecological
standpoint (Bronfenbrenner, 1987).

Empirical findings show a beneficial relationship between parental participation in schooling

and academic accomplishment (Pérez Sánchez et al., 2013; Tárraga et al., 2017), as well as
enhancing children's self-esteem and academic performance (Garbacz et al., 2017). (Ross, 2016).
Family involvement has also been found to be associated with positive school attachment on the part
of children (Alcalay et al., 2005) as well as positive school climates (Cowan et al., 2012).

Research has also evidenced that programs focused on increasing parental involvement in
education have positive impacts on children, families, and school communities (Jeynes,
2012; Catalano and Catalano, 2014). Parent-school partnership allows for the conceptualization of
roles and relationships and the impact on the development of children in a broader way
(Christenson and Reschly, 2010).

From this approach, families and schools are the main actors in the construction of their
roles and forms of involvement, generating new and varied actions to relate to each other according
to the specific educational context. The main findings in the family-school field show a positive
influence of this partnership, contributing to academic achievement and performance, among other
positive consequences (Epstein and Sander, 2000; Hotz and Pantano, 2015; Sebastian et al., 2017).

WHAT TO OBSERVE OBSERVATIONS

Children ages 6-11 years old define themselves as

innocent, lively, and youthful so, when they started
going to school they are unfamiliar of things they are
not used to. Parents also do not have time to teach
them in their studies especially when pandemic
happened. • The family-school relationship
demonstrates the beneficial effects of this agreements,
which include a good impact on academic
ACTIVITIES performance and accomplishment of the children. •
Children exhibit various attitudes and actions that
prompt parents to be patient when teaching their
kids. • The Robo-Teach material refers to a piece of
useful equipment utilized by kids that parents can use
instead of worrying about teaching their kids. • Robo-
Teach for children can be their guidance to
understand, pick up lessons, and acquire knowledge
while also enjoying.

The children don't have enough space outside to play

ENVIRONMENT and interact with other children that can help them
enhance their creative thinking skills. They don't have
a playground, in that case the only thing that keeps
 them entertained is the gadgets they get addicted and
somehow it prevents them on focusing at their studies.

Children struggle to learn when they don't interact

with the curriculum. They might have experienced
INTERACTIONS this problem as a result of the teacher's poor teaching
abilities, technological distractions, and their short
attention span. Since they are inherently happy,
carefree, and lively, children only engage in enjoyable
activities—learning is not one of them. Young people
can get sidetracked, which may have contributed to
their lack of enthusiasm in learning. Family concerns,
mental health problems, or other objectives can be the
causes of this specific dilemma.

*Flashcards - serve as a way to introduce new words and

numbers, which requires interaction of the parent who
doesn't have enough time.

*Storybook - Story of fantasies and novels that

OBJECTS sometimes a average child find's hard to understand.
*Pencils - used for drawing and outlining, which is less
attractive for childrens

*Crayon - a coloring materials that requires pressure to

leave a mark on the paper in which, children got fatigue
and may find frustrating.

*Notebooks - used for purposes such as note-taking,

journaling or other writing, drawing, or scrapbooking
which is less attractive for it's appearance

*Gadgets - medium for modern teaching, which was too

attractive for it's many features that creates distraction.

The major customer are the young children who wish

to play with the toys and their families that allow the
kids to find entertainment for themselves and allow
kinfolk rest their own. Families with young children
around 3-7 years old are the main target of this
USER product. families like these search for quality product
that can educate their children. the kids just want cool
plaything to specify their time. A lesser target market
would be older children like 8 years old above, that
contain their own money for toys.

Pinpoint
Having problems and challenges as a parent is normal and it is part of parenthood. It is hard but we face
it because we know that it will benefit our children in the future. Seeing our children happy and achieving their
dreams is a big achievement for us. That is why we are doing everything for the sake of our children. The smile
of our children can also bring a smile to us parents. A simple smile can motivate us to pass through the
problems and challenges in life.

My Philosophy In Life
I was raised by my parents to be a good woman who tries to be always kind and helpful to other people
and live in harmony with the commandments of my religion. The next thing about my philosophy of life is a
proper attitude which means that I have a lot of faith in myself, and I am taking challenges with believing in
final success.

Optimism is very important in a woman’s life and we cannot forget about it, because it helps in bearing
with difficulties. Having friends is also important; however, the point is to choose wisely and surround yourself
with well-wishing and loyal people which won’t stab you in the back when you will need help. My philosophy
of life tells me that I always have to be myself and listen to my heart as much as I listen to my mind and play
along with the voice of my conscience. I believe that a woman should develop herself, every time try to
experience something new and always use an opportunity to increase knowledge to be conscious and intelligent.
Summing up, I am convinced that the best way to achieve happiness is to be loyal to your family who
has optimistic view on future, as my philosophy of life says.
