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.

Parent’s Role
Suggestions• Build a good child-parent relationship
• Avoid comparing your child’s performance with that of
others
• Link praise to effort, attitude or behaviour rather than the
result [“You did well due to your effort. Congrats!”]
Academic resilience [ability to deal with academic setback &
challenges] plays a big part in whether child remains motivated
