Parent involvement in child's education

5 Reasons it's important to ask, "How was your day?"

A parent's involvement in child's education is extremely important. Involvement can mean anything from helping your kid learn their arithmetic and English, to simply asking them how their day was. Studies show that parent involvement in a child's education means the different between high self-esteem and low self-esteem, as well as the difference between high academic achievement and low academic achievement. Simply put, here are the top 5 reasons to become involved in your kid's learning process and day-to-day education:

1.A home environment that encourages education will serve your child throughout their life and help them gain proper priorities

2.The earlier you become involved, the more positive effects will be gleaned

3.If you read aloud to your child, their own reading comprehension will improve enormously

4.Parental involvement will also improve your child's daily school attendance and boost their self-esteem, which will help them in all aspects of their life, not limited to learning

5.Simply by discussing the day's activities, your child will intrinsically know that you care about them and their future

By staying actively involved in your child's homework and after-school activities and organizing their time spent at home, (such as designating specific time periods for school work, television, outdoor play and chores) your interests will naturally merge. This will help your son or daughter feel important, which again will keep their self-esteem and
self-image high at a time in their life when peer pressure and adolescent angst can be difficult and confusing.
