In this article I will critically discuss how parental involvement in children's education makes a positive difference to pupils' outcomes. I will use research in several reliable media such as literature, journals, and government documents to strengthen my argument. Many children have two primary educators in their lives; their parents and their teachers. Parents are the first educators, most of what a child learns in the first years of life is taught by parents. It is only when the child begins to attend an early childhood environment that he begins to learn from another educator. Both parents and teachers continue to have a major influence on their children's learning throughout school and for the rest of their lives. The parents and the child's school both have an important role to play in the child's education and should therefore work together as a team. Parents can be involved in many different ways, for example; engage in the school itself by helping in the classroom or supervising lunch and break times, or for those parents who work during the day and cannot find time to help in the school where they can be involved; read to their children at home, help them with homework and other learning activities, teach them songs or nursery rhymes, and let them help them with daily activities such as cooking, baking, and household chores. This can be classified as: Parental involvement in school life or parental involvement in supporting the individual child at home. “Family involvement and engagement should be integrated into the curriculum and pedagogy of early childhood programs. Early childhood educators can integrate and influence home environments and families.” (C. Gestwicki, J. Ber...... half of the article ...... academic and even social outcomes for children of all ages. "The most effective schools are now widely considered to be those that encourage and support the involvement of parents and other family members in their children's education" (Grant and Ray, 2010). To conclude, my research shows a clear link between parental involvement and children's better outcomes in school show results better and get higher grades. They also show better behavior, more enthusiasm, ambition and higher levels of commitment than children whose parents are not involved in their education in many ways, so much so that schools more effective are those that encourage parental involvement.
