The Importance Of Parents Support For Children

Education is very important to my parents and it is not just a means of obtaining a good job in the future, but it serves as a way to get respect and social standing in a world that is so heavily focused on societal and class statuses. Being the first generation to have gone onto higher education, the pressures, put on by my family, can sometimes be overwhelming. In fact, at times I think my parents are more excited and ready for me to graduate than I am, which can be quite comical.

College isn’t for everybody people have set their minds on believing if they go to college they will fail. Angel B.Perez, article “Want to Get Into College? Learn to Fail” talks about how students need to fail in order to be successful. “I look forward to the possibility of failure”(Perez). This quote indicates that students go to college with the fear of failure, but who said college was easy? College is not easy, but not impossible students have always have there parents on their sides to help them through their difficult times. “You see, my parents have never let me fail”(Perez). Your parents are not with you when you go to college so weather you go you need to be responsible on graduating with your effort.

My parents think of themselves as primarily self-sufficient. Because of this, we live on the peak of a hill in the middle of nowhere, far away from the hustle and bustle of our old home in the city. Although this is their ideal life, they realized that it may prevent me from expanding my own horizons. They have always encouraged me to follow my interests, even when it meant moving away from home at sixteen to go to college. Throughout my entire childhood, they have done everything in their power to ensure that I am prepared for the future. I believe that my parents have crafted me into a well-rounded individual by proving to me that any person can define their own version of success.

The most direct and meaningful impact on children’s education and advancement of social competence comes from parents and families. Students work harder, excel more, show attitudes and behavior that is positive, and feel at ease in new settings. Educators must connect to families so that they may develop relationships that employ them as active partners in their children’s learning

The next mediating mechanism of childhood poverty affecting intellectual development is the mother’s involvement with her child. How a child is raised and parented is crucial to the human development at a young age, and is one of the main intervening factors between poor families and the ultimate outcome of the child. More completed models of childhood development in poverty include “mediators such as the amount and quality of time spent by parents with their children,” along with the other aspects of home-learning environments (Duncan, Brooks-Gunn, and Klebanov 309). Parents who live in poverty daily and for longer amounts of time often face lack of food, poor housing, unsafe neighborhoods, unemployment, discrimination, and poor health (Guo and Harris 433). When facing these hardships, impoverished parents suffer from more psychological issues than non-poor parents, which can lead to harsh discipline and low levels of support for the child. When a parent is not supportive or does not challenge a child to preform at a higher

According to Christopher “Research stated educational support (both financial and emotional) from parents is key to a child being successful and staying in school. If parents do not hold high aspirations for their child’s educational attainment, their child will not see the purpose of staying in or doing well in school”. This means that if their parent doesn’t help them they not going to pass high school because they won’t care about school.

My parents have been separated since I was young but they each remind me of how they both graduated from college with Bachelor’s degrees and how important it is that I further my education. Dropping out is not an option and when I graduated from high school it was mandatory that I enrolled to a college before looking for a job. It can be tough when a parent demands a lot from you but in the end it can also benefit you because you’re able to take pride in your accomplishments.

Entering into college, I wanted to do public health, but I wanted to be a doctor to please my father and to satisfy his hunger to have a doctor in his family. My father made sure his children went to college, and if they didn’t, it was clear they couldn’t stay in his house anymore. My parents struggled to support all of my siblings and supply each of us with everything we needed. I never realized the struggle until I got older and understood the value of money and time. My parents never wanted my brothers and I to work while we were in school, they wanted us to focus on our grades and activities that would help us get into college. Overall, the support from my family and seeing how hard my

They always encourage me that if i want to succeed i will have to strive for that diploma. I know i have had a stage in my life where i felt that going to a University after high school was a waste of time and a waste of money. But to see how bad my parents wished they had that opportunity made me realize i can not take this for granted. My dad always says jokingly “ I could always learn what you learn on youtube,” Which i always find funny , gives me an insight of him still having that dream of going to school. I understand many choose not to attend college because it is not for them, like my siblings my two oldest siblings both aged twenty- four, and twenty-five, both tried the whole college experience but did not choose to continue because it was not for them. Making me first generation college students. Of course this journey i have experienced has not been that easy. I know that when i was in highschool i did not value education as much as i do to this point. I was young a felt that just taking the easy way out. When i started seeing my grades slip, was the moment i realized everything my parents encouraged me to do i was doing the opposite. Until i got older i started realizing how important education is . I did experience some personal hardships and challenges where i felt i could not continue, but had my parents reminding me Hard work comes to those who really want it and are willing

Since I could remember my parents have been working hard to give me the best life they can. Although both of them never finished high school, they have always told me that education should always be my top priority. For many years both of my parents worked but after my little sister was born, my mom devoted herself to taking care of us. It came with positives and negative outcomes. My mom got the chance to help me through my elementary and middle school years with my schoolwork and I always felt like I could count at her at any given moment. But, it hurt our family financially. My dad was the only one working and he got laid off during the recession from his job. Eventually, he found a job, but it didn’t pay as much as his older job. To this day, he is still the only one that works and I thank him for teaching me always be a hard worker and that education is the path to a successful life. It has been hard, especially when you don’t have all the technology that is usually essential when doing schoolwork, but I am glad that I matriculated a way to defeat any of the obstacles that came my way whether it came to schoolwork or in other aspects of my life.

As educators and child-care givers make decisions that concern young learners, this article would encourage them to invest in the education of our youngest children in America. I think the information provided concerning the support that young families could get as a part of the early intervention process could substantially change the way parents prepare their children for school. This most often would benefit children who are in low-income and low socio-economic levels. I also liked the ideas the study had to continue to move toward higher academic advancement. One thing that was mentioned in the study was having extended help for these types of students well into elementary school (Reynolds, 2008). They would begin with early intervention, but would continue to have programs to provide extra help for those students. From this article and research I am convinced that working with young children and their families can have rewards when it comes to academic achievement and test scores in upper

Teachers need to increase understanding about how, and why, parents construct their involvement in different ways. Parental involvement may also vary because of differences in ethnic and cultural backgrounds between parents and teachers. I believe that supporting parental involvement requires knowledge by school's staff on how to involve parents in their children's education.

When it comes to raising a kid every parent wants to be the best parent. Many of them wonder if they are giving the right environment for the physical and behavioral growth of their kids. The reality is; most parents do not remain the best parents or at least good parents.

“There are approximately forty nine million children and youth, ages 6-17 living in the U.S.” (“Making the Case” 1). Children need care while they are in the initial stages of growth and development. Whether this care is provided by a mother, father, sibling, or other guardian, a child needs to be loved. When children turn a certain age, the care of the family is added to by caregivers in another institution. While attending school, children are shown care for the duration of the day by teachers, mentors, and other aids. This is a productive time for the children’s development because they are being nurtured in a well rounded, safe environment. This environment provides initial academic
