Parents and guardians play a critical role in their children's education. Being actively involved in their school life is essential for their academic and social success. Studies have shown that children whose parents are involved in their education are more likely to attend school regularly, have higher self-esteem, get better grades and demonstrate better behaviour in and out of the classroom. Furthermore, parental involvement can help create a positive learning environment, foster better communication between parents, teachers, and students, and help parents stay informed of their child's progress and any issues they may be facing. In short, parents who are involved in their child's school life can make a significant difference in their academic and personal growth. Family engagement, also known as family involvement, is an essential component of a child's academic and social success. It refers to the active participation of families in their child's education, both at home and at school. The Global Family Research Project, which is led by researchers from Harvard University, identifies systemic family engagement as a core component of educational goals such as student achievement, school turnaround, and school readiness. And according to youth.gov, family involvement is critical in promoting physical health, cognitive and social-emotional development, and academic achievement in children and youth from pre-kindergarten to high school, and well-being that lasts into adulthood. The Harvard Family Research Project identifies important benefits of Family Engagement and why teachers and educators should invest time and energy into it.
