Parental Involvement in the Elementary School classroom

 Parental involvement is important in the Elementary classroom setting because it enhances the child's academic performance. Supporting parents in early education reduces child behavior problems, enhances learning and academic success, and helps the child create better social skills with their peers. When parents are involved children have a higher chance of being successful and have a better attendance record. Parents that are not as involved have a more likely chance of the child dropping out of school later on in life. Teachers enjoy having a connection with parents and being able to have conversations about the child. Having the parents and teachers on the same page creates a bond and a stronger relationship for deeper understanding of all circumstances that may arise with the child in their learning. Having parents and teachers supporting the child creates chances for the child to strive and become successful academically and in life.

The involvement of parents with children's education is crucial and will help with encouragement, 

motivation, and self-esteem. Children that have involved parents that want the best for them are more likely to succeed in the classroom and have the confidence to do so with the support of their loved ones. Having parents to guide you for support has a positive influence on the students behavior and attitude. Parental involvement goes far beyond the classroom setting. Having parents to turn to when in doubt with anything in life or academically will increase chances for success in the future.  Most times without support from parents children will end up on a bad path because they did not know any better. 

Children happy and ready to learn.

Without the support from loved ones it is hard to have the confidence to succeed and continue in your academic career.
