ABSTRACT
In the early years, parental involvement has a significant impact on children’s ‘cognitive development and literacy and number skill. Parental involvement in a child’s schooling for a child between the ages of 7 and 16 is a more powerful force than family background, size of family and level of parental education. Parental involvement has a significant effect on children or pupils achievement throughout the years of schooling. Many researchers shows that parental involvement in children’s learning is a key factor in improving children’s academic attainment and achievements, as well as their overall behavior and attendance. When parents are involved with their children’s education actively, the child’s academic performance (cognitive affective) improves (Daniel J. Burke, 1999). Educational failure is increased by lack of parental interest mostly in schooling. Before we go in-depth discussing the issues related, first and foremost, one’s should know the definition and the overall aspects of parental involvement.
