Parents’ Role in children Learning

Introduction

Children who learn only at home have an individual learning experience, whereas children who learn in school do so through relationships. Learning through relationships is more reflective of the adult world in which people contribute to society by working together. Children in school systems hear other people’s ideas and viewpoints. They learn to merge different beliefs to create their own values and principles. In a school setting children learn to listen to various thoughts before forming their own opinions. There are more advantages that we could get by sending our children to school.

the subjects.

Lack of confidence in their learning.

Lack of discipline in

learning.

1. Lack of interest and motivation.

Cause and effect

If students attribute their success to their innate talents rather than effort, they may not be motivated to work. Students in school do not believe that their efforts will improve their performance. If students do not belief that their efforts are likely to improve their performance, they will not be motivated to work hard.

Lack of interest and motivation.

Solutions

Parents:a) Can nurture our child’s interest by providing

opportunities for them to explore and learn about their interests.

b) Expose our children to new ideas and areas by participating in community programs and not just school programs.

c) Attempt them suing short term goals and rewards since sometimes as child becomes overwhelmed by a large task.

Lack of interest and motivation.

Solutions

Parents:d) We could help our children learn to arrange time e) Praise our children’s efforts since some children

have trouble connecting personal effort to achievement.

f) help our children take control.g) keep a positive attitude about school h) help our children make a connection between their

schoolwork and their interests.

2. Students do not understanding the language used in the subjects.

Cause and effect

Some researchers believed that students become confused about the meaning of words in Mathematics and Science lessons because in certain subjects the meanings of the languages used are different. Based on this matter, students cannot answer the questions correctly and it brings them to failure.

2. Students do not understand the language used in the subjects.

Solutions

Parents:

a) can monitor and facilitate their work or study at home.

b) check their books and their work at home because some teachers will give them homework.

c) ask some teachers to give extra class for our children

3. Lack of confidence in their learning.

Cause and effect

Parents' attitudes are crucial to children's feelings about themselves, particularly in children's early years. However, if parents encourage children's moves toward self-reliance and accept and love their children when they make mistakes, children will learn to accept themselves and will be on their way to developing self-confidence.

3. Lack of confidence in their learning.

a) be careful of what we say because children can be sensitive to parents' and others' words.

b) helping our children overcome disappointments can really help them learn what they're good at and what they're not so good at.

c) Nurture our own self-esteem and they'll have a great role model.

Solutions

3. Lack of confidence in their learning.

d) can give positive, accurate feedback such as, "I can see you were very angry with your brother, but it was nice that you were able to talk about it instead of yelling or hitting."

e) watch for signs of abuse by others, problems in school, trouble with peers, and other factors that may affect children's self-esteem.

f) help our children become involved in constructive experiences.

g) tell our children their aim in learning at school.

Solutions

4. Lack of discipline in learning.

Cause and effect

Discipline is paramount in learning. It is also very important for peace and harmony in any learning environment: peace between students, teachers and administration. The teacher and students relationship is essential for any learning process. If there is a breakdown in this relationship, indiscipline emerges. When students are not motivated, they tend to work in an indiscipline manner.

4. Lack of discipline in learning.

a) put the time and energy in so that they know that they matters in your life - you share a smile, a good word, a laugh, a story, or a meal together.

b) talk to our child every day-even if it’s just for a few minutes.

c) Speak to our child in the tone and with the words that you wish they would use with others.

d) Express our love every day, no matter how tough the day.

Solutions

5. Classroom environment

Cause and effect

The environment in the classroom is dirty and old. It is a stressful place if the classroom is not a comfortable place to have a teaching and learning process.

Solutions

a) help the teachers in cleaning and decorating the classroom during weekends .

b) help teachers in making their teaching aids with guidance.

ConclusionChildren learn best when the significant adults in their lives, parents, teachers, and other family and community members. We work together to encourage and support them. This basic fact should be a guiding principle as we think about how schools should be organized and how children should be taught. Schools alone cannot address all of a child's developmental needs: The meaningful involvement of parents and support from the community are essential. I hope that we could hand in hand as a big family to help the students achieve their aims in learning and to have better education.
