Abstract Introduction Sleep is critical to the health and functioning of adolescents, but most teens do not obtain the recommended amount of sleep each night. Some sleep interventions have been efficacious in promoting sleep among adolescents, though others have had a more limited impact. One potential strategy for improving the efficacy of adolescent sleep promotion programs is to optimize the role of parents in supporting their child’s sleep. Recent findings on parental involvement in adolescent sleep suggest that monitoring can improve sleep duration but may be challenged by disagreements about sleep between parents and adolescents. Thus, it is crucial to understand how to involve parents in adolescent sleep promotion while supporting adolescent autonomy. Here, we report qualitative data on strategies for involving parents in adolescent sleep promotion in a way that is acceptable and effective. This data was collected specifically to inform the development of a sleep promotion program for adolescents. Methods We conducted 9 focus groups (3 each for youth, parents of adolescents, and healthcare providers treating adolescents). Transcripts of focus group proceedings were coded and thematically analyzed using inductive and deductive approaches, focusing on parents’ current role in their child’s sleep and the proposed role of parents in an adolescent sleep program. Results Some parents report being involved in their child’s sleep habits by setting bedtimes and supervising a consistent sleep routine. Adolescents prefer parental support that encourages child autonomy for their own sleep routine. To maintain healthy sleep habits, parents report that physicians or other trusted adults may play a key role in facilitating the negotiation of sleep habits that addresses the priorities of both parents and adolescents. Conclusion Our findings support adolescent preference for autonomy in their health behaviors consistent with their developing independence during this development period. Future work should focus on improved understanding of how adolescents and parents can negotiate adolescent autonomy and should examine the efficacy of a sleep promotion program based on varying levels of parental involvement.

Teachers collaborating with parents is an axiom of successful school programmes. The parents’ role should be supportive and complementary to the teachers’ pedagogical function. A functional or dysfunctional parent-teacher partnership is a predictor of children’s success or failure in school. The functionality of parent-teacher partnerships is often measured through student achievement. The aim of this article was to illuminate how a coordinated parent-teacher partnership can be supportive to children’s schooling. Focus is on teachers’ teaching role complimented with the supportive and monitoring role of parents. Data were collected through interviews with parents and teachers at a township primary school. I engage the concern that a lack of parental involvement affects parent-teacher partnerships in township schools. Findings of this study demonstrate teachers’ lack of understanding of the sociocultural and economic circumstances constraining parental involvement, resulting in a chasm of understanding between teachers and parents on how to collaboratively support children’s learning positions at school and at home.

Parental involvement is a key predictor of students’ success in academic and general life. Moreover, the integration of technology has had a massive influence on the learning process and in facilitating parents’ involvement. The current study aims to explore the role of parents in the achievements of English as a foreign language (EFL) learners via Edmodo, which is a platform consisting of three important main components. A descriptive method is used to conduct the research with a sample of 50 parents of female students at the intermediate stage of King Abdul Aziz private school, and using a questionnaire as an instrument. The results indicated a high level of parental involvement in supporting their daughters’ progress. Moreover, parents were pleased when the teachers kept them informed about their daughters’ progress in English. Communication with the school and supervision of homework had a positive effect on the quality of learning. The results revealed that parental involvement enhanced English language skills and increased learners’ motivation to work hard. In addition, the study discovers the positive perception of parents regarding the use of Edmodo.

Conflicting Role

There has been increasing academic interest in understanding the nature of parental involvement in youth sport. Much scholarly focus has illuminated both positive and negative forms of sport parenting from the perspectives of coaches, parents and youth participants. One less understood aspect however surrounds the potentially conflicting role of parents who coach their own children in youth sport. This is surprising given that many parents, especially fathers, demonstrate support by fulfilling essential roles such as team manager and team coach (Jeffery-Tosoni, Fraser-Thomas, & Baker, 2015). This paper emerges from an Australian study of 16 parent-coaches involved in Australian football. The original purpose of the study was to understand the nature of the sport parenting role in youth sport in Australia. A number of pertinent themes were constructed surrounding the contemporary experiences of parent-coaches who coach their own children, and how coaching is subsequently justified. The findings illustrate how concerns of favouritism impact how parent-coaches interact with their child in contrast to the rest of the team, encouraging nuances of ‘negative’ parenting toward their own children under the guise of being the coach. Examples of this include demonstrating deliberate criticism at training and matches and overlooking their child in awarding encouragement awards after each weekly match. Significantly, parent-coaches justify these behaviours in attempting to fulfil the dual role of parent and team coach. We argue that this can be potentially problematic for some parent and child relationships and have a reinforcing influence on how other parent-coaches negotiate being a parent and coach.

Active Parent

Children are the building blocks of the nation and home is the first and most important school for the child, will ever have. Parental involvement has been recognized as the most important factor to influence the childhood and adulthood. Any enrichment programme, for maximizing the potentials of all the children has to have active parent-child interaction. The role of parents in bringing up their children is quite important both in terms of their devotion with respect to time spent with them, money and other consideration. Parents transmit the culture and custom of society to the incoming generation. Parent involvement implies how the parents involve themselves in developing overall personality of the child. It may be described as the allocation of resources to the child‟s school behavior. Parents‟ involvement in education either in school or at home, will create a partnership between school and parents. The resulting partnership between parents and school will develop effective communication from home to school and school to home. The main objective of the present study was to compare the parent knowledge, attitude and involvement towards school education between boys and girls children. Data was collected with the help of standardized tool „Parent Involvement Scale‟ by Dr. Rita Chopra and Surbala Sahoo. Sample size was 100 boys and girls of IVth and Vth Standards, will be selected from Agra city. Analysis of data was done by percentile technique. Findings of the study indicate that involvement of parents towards boy is more than girls. Although they support both of them but in some areas like tours from schools, outdoor group study, financial matter etc, they still ignore girls.

<p style="text-align:justify">Traditionally secondary studies on achievement on Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA) tests point to the significant impact of socioeconomic status and cultural backgrounds of families as well as the role of parental involvement, which in some cases has had a negative impact on achievement. For this article, a model of structural regression was tested, with structural modelling software. This model included the following factors: domestic and educational assets, parental support for students, parents’ perceptions about science, and science competencies among 214 high performing Mexican students on PISA tests in 2015. This resulted in a structural regression model with a goodness of fit, where science competencies were a positive significant variable, impacted by domestic and educational assets and parental involvement. An additional restricted model with four variables manifested as mediators, revealed that science competencies were predicted positively and significantly by domestic and educational assets, and by the manifest parental emotional support variable. Variables related to ownership of educational and cultural assets and resources, as well as parental support, particularly emotional parental support, have positive and significant impact on science competencies.</p>

This paper explores the concept of school and community partnerships and their impact on positive student outcomes. My primary focus as a reflective practitioner was to examine the role of parents in this school–community dynamic. School and community are not two separate entities but interwoven through the commitment and support of the children and families they serve. There is a need to identify strategies to assist and empower parents to become more effective learning partners. Friends of Bright Minds Community Prep (FBMCP) sought to address some of the concerns by developing a Parent Academic Coaching Empowerment (PACE) Curriculum; which utilized authentic and holistic approaches rooted in empirical research conducted by Dr. Joyce Epstein’s, involving the six types of parental involvement. It is incumbent for schools and communities (specifically through community-based organizations) to create viable partnerships with the goal of student achievement within the school setting. As a practicing scholar, there is an opportunity for ongoing inquiry, reflection, and discovery.

Character Building

Departing from the various realities as described above, the implementer of this service wishes to examine the importance of the exemplary educators in shaping the character of children. This dedication will begin with the basic concept of modeling, then end with the importance of modeling for the teacher in shaping the personalities (characters) of children towards independence. The role of parents is very important, especially to catch the concrete rather than the abstract. As a second parent, the teacher might find it easy to communicate his message verbally. However, children will find it difficult to understand the message if they see that their education does not provide an example of the message it conveys. Advances in technology also have an impact on children's behavior along with the progress of science and technology. This gives a very big impact on the behavior of students who increasingly leads to negative things. Children's behavior patterns tend to deviate from the corridors of noble morals. Based on the range of exemplary values ​​in the interaction of character building namely: efforts to ask for parental support, not getting bored giving directions, cooperation of all parties. The factors supporting the exemplary methods in PAUD, teachers, teaching materials, the local environment and schools, technological progress.
