It is seen that the only function of parents, whose children attend school is to control their academic progress. This point of view has appeared because of the large number of parents who do not wish to be involved in their children’s school life. The role of parents in the education of their children is of utmost importance and usually children of more active parents who participate in the school life study much better.
How parents avoid mistakes?
Usually, parents do not realise the fact that problems in their child’s education are a result of their attitude to both child and school. At times, talking to each other or with other adults they do not even notice how sometimes a statement in a joke can be remembered by children and accepted as a serious situation. There are some other people who speak out their mind about educational process in front of their children and feel nothing wrong in that. But such minor viewpoints can lead to hatred and absence of desire to attend school. That is why it is important to know what words can hinder education to be able to avoid them in a child’s presence:
- Discussion of teachers from the negative point of view
- Emphasizing of teacher’s mistakes
- Allowance to skip school admitting pointless evidence of the children
- Acceptance of children’s complaints about school without an effort to convince him or her in the opposite viewpoint
- Paying no attention to blaming child’s failures on teacher’s shoulders
- The utmost support of the child without a desire to learn real facts
- Statements about the inappropriateness of school
- Ignoring of any problems or complaints about school life
All these things can change the attitude of your kid to school forever and consequently, the academic success of the child will only get worse. So make sure you start controlling your behaviour if you do not want your child to face any education related problems.
How to Help Your Child at Home?
Despite the fact that it is impossible to bring school and teachers to your home there are several activities that may help your child to be more successful. Home atmosphere also plays a great role in education. So, if you want to contribute to the studying of your child, you need to follow these tips:
- Create a pleasant atmosphere at home. Quarrels and arguments are never beneficial for children
- Make a comfortable working place for the child to be able to study at home
- Encourage a kid to do his homework well and deserve excellent marks by doing so
- Always ask how the day was spent at school, if they are facing any problems or difficulties there, what was the best thing happened during the day
- Give a helping hand anytime child needs it and never forget to praise him or her
- Share your personal experience about your school years setting an example
Only at home does a child feel safe and secure, so it is a perfect place to discuss any issues that are connected with schooling. Being aware of parent’s interest in his or her life a child will make more efforts to make parents happy and proud.
Other ways for parents to help Educational Process
Education has always been a priority for most of the parents and if you consider yourself a resposible and willing parent then there are also some tips that may ease the educational process as well as encourage your child to study better. Though it may sound funny, a key to success of most of them is in parent’s hands. So make sure you do your best to achieve excellent results.
- Discourage your kid from lying: There are many children who would rather lie accusing a teacher than admit their own fault. You should always have to listen to both viewpoints to be able to evaluate the situation right.
- If you want to talk to the teacher about his mistakes or inappropriate behaviour to your mind, do that personally during a parent-teacher conference never involving your child in this.
- Spend more time with your children for them not to feel ignored or lonely: By your doing so, they will entrust you with the secrets and problems they face as well as allow to look for their solutions together.
- Rank your child’s necessity or desire to study higher than your personal wishes: Your favourite series on TV might disturb a kid studying, so it better to wait and allow a child to finish his assignment in silence.
- Analyze the schedule of your child’s working day: to make sure that he or she has enough time for the homely tasks and does not waste such valuable time for useless games.
- Improve child’s study habits by teaching him or her how to work more productively: Learn some new memorizing techniques, pay attention to breaks during learning and having enough sleep.
- Have a balance between love and strictness to the kid: Authoritative behaviour is not always suitable and is hardly encouraging, so you should be able to see what is required by your child now and never be shy to show your love for them.
Sometimes this channel reaches such a big size that parents lose any influence on their children. Thus, parents should always take part in their children’s lives only then they will be able to do well in school and develop a great personality.

Parents are real teacher of their children. All personnel and professional growth of any child is linked to their parents. What ever behavior a child found around him he makes him addicted to that. So its the duty of parents that they should provide good environment and education for better future or their children.
