Parents shape their children’s
beliefs and attitudes towards
school and schoolwork
Important for parents
to be involved in
their children’s education
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.
