“ Students who are loved at home, come to school to learn, and -stdents who are not, come to school to be loved ”. ~ Nicholas A Ferroni Nowadays it seems that it is the teachers’ responsibility to follow up the students’ academic achievements and provide the maximum time and guidance needed so that students give their best and show -iprovement. However, one of the things we neglect is the parents’ role. It simply has a great effect on students’ academic achievement. Talking about the role of parents doesn’ t only mean their academic support and guidance; their greater role lies within the psychological support that goes hand in hand with their academic support. -Morover, it is vital to point out that the psychological support that parents provide is correlated with the academic achievement of students.
Traditional wisdom suggests that the most potentially problematic -stdents in education come from homes where parents either failed to properly socialize them, or more likely, coddled them, overprotected them and covered for them to such an extent that many entered -kidergarten with an artificially inflated level of -self esteem, an -underdveloped sense of responsibility, overdeveloped sense of entitlement, minimal respect of authority, and a readiness to blame others for their own shortcomings.( Baumind, 1971 .( Talking about the distinct parenting styles, the following are the ones to tackle: 1. -Permissive Indulgent parenting: Parents who follow this -paenting style tend to be affectionate, caring and involved; on the other hand, they act like being extremely tolerant. They exert negligible -dicipline or control. 2. -Permissive Neglectful( Uninvolved) parenting: These parents are those who show virtually no interest in their children. Simply, they are careless and never look after their children. 3. Authoritarian parenting: Mothers and fathers who are classified to be authoritarian are those who are demanding, intolerant, and harsh on their children. They have the“ punishment” as a very important -paenting tool to show authority. 4. Authoritative parenting: These parents are those who are firm with their kids. Moreover, these parents also demand from their -chidren and impose discipline, but they still show love, care, and -affetion. Research has shown that students with various problems in the class and outside are those whose parents pursue the -permissive -indugent, -permissive neglectful, and authoritarian parenting styles. These parenting styles have been associated with a variety of -probleatic personal, emotional, and social characteristics that can play out in academic settings in the form of any anxiety and low achievements.
