INTRODUCTION

Background Information

The first teachers a youngster has are their parents! Children develop social skills including
sharing, cooperating, and respecting other people’s property when they engage with a parent.
Young kids also learn to communicate and hone their motor abilities. Children are more likely to
perform well in school and develop socially and emotionally when their parents are involved in
their education. Student achievement, self-esteem, and behavior all increase when parents are
involved. Additionally, it fosters a sense of partnership between parents and their child’s school.
Many schools prioritize involving parents and the larger community in their efforts to raise
students’ academic performance. Involving parents from low-income families in school activities
can benefit students’ academic performance.
