The Role of Parents in Their Child's Education

When it comes to schooling, parents want to ensure that their children get the access to the best education possible in the most reputed schools in their country. Parents are willing to go the extra mile for their children’s education but enrolling them in a good school isn’t where their role ends. At home too, parents need to play an active part in furthering their children’s learning experience and here is how parents can contribute:

Parents should communicate with their children more effectively and spend more time with them on a daily basis. No matter how difficult or busy your day has been, make it a point to ask your children how their day was as not only will this make them open up more to you about their progress in learning but also keep you updated on their education.

No matter how proficient your child is at academics, be supportive and patient with them. Don’t push them to do better; encourage them so they don’t feel too pressurized. The support from the family can make tremendous impact on the mental development of the child and help them make progress in a better manner, at a pace that is suited to them.

Parents should actively make an effort to engage with their child’s school and teachers. For parents of children studying in a private school in KL participation in parent teacher association, being active in classroom forums started by the school, attending counselling sessions etc can help them keep a track of their child’s progress and also help them intervene in collaboration with teachers to give their child the best education.

Parents should also attempt to improve the learning of their children. This does not only mean that they need to help their children with their lessons but also expand their learning horizons by adopting innovative teaching practices like camping, visiting fun places to learn together, playing learning games, etc.
