The important issue can be rightly discussed if we can put some light on the importance of the involvements of the parents in their child’s psycho-social-emotional developments.
The well known author and professor of sociology, Toby Parcel opined that the involvement of both family and school are important for a child’s academic success; however, the involvement of family is of course of greater importance. The parents’ involvement matters a lot if the child / children are young enough. The importance persists till the child comes of age at least up to degree level study. Many research studies are underway while many others have already been done about the parents’ involvement in the child’s education. Current educational practices and policies uphold the issue of supporting parental involvement in a massive way.

The arrangements of these arrangements must also be considered as investment of optimum resources. It is not alone the investments towards the schooling.

Any child can feel the accompaniment of his parents as and when parents are unquestionably sharing their time with the child. Other than taking the child out for recreations / simple outings / shopping / joy rides / Entertainment Park etc. If the child is also helped for his / her homework, class room task and reading some of the portions of his / her curriculum, can make the child feel enthused and encouraged.

In Depth Study On Teenagers
A survey study conducted on 10,000 teens have established that schools cater to only one third of a child’s development, while the two third of the job is to be completed by the parents. By the time the student is 18, the results come pouring in as the impacts of parental involvement or noninvolvement in the education of a child. A study by the USA’s North Carolina State University have coined two relative terms ‘school social capital’ and ‘family social capital’.
Social Vs Family Capital Bases
The School social capital bases on different variables, they are: the regularity maintained by the parents in contacting the school for periodical checks about the development of the child, is known as one of the other important factors. Parents’ participations in the child’s extracurricular and sports activities, taking interest in boosting morale among the pupils and finally rating the teachers by the parents make a significant sense in the matter of ‘school’s social capital’. Factors like lacks of problems like bullying and absenteeism are also included in this group. While Family social capital bases the factors like the quantum of involvements of the parents in the overall education of their child in the matters of school events, parents’ evening, discussions of social activities, checking of homework and the most important one is the quantum of trust the parents have on their ward. Many researches vouch the fact that irrespective of parents’ educational and income background their involvements do matter a lot.

It is always found that kids secure higher grades if they are guided by the parents. The increased amounts of students’ performances are seen if the parents’ involvement is also substantial. Other than the higher grade, the students who are better supported in their academic purposes by their parents behave much better than those who are devoid of this essential ingredient. Researches have also proved that the quality of education of a child also gets improved if the parents back the child in his / her education. Another important element gets highlighted, if the child is abundant with his / her parental support and guidance, is his / her ‘increased confidence’.
