Why Parent Involvement Matters Most in a Child’s Education and Academic Success

When people talk about what helps children succeed in school, the conversation usually circles around the same ideas: great teachers, best schools, rigorous curriculum, the right school environment. All of those things are important, but research consistently points to something even more powerful.

The greatest influence on a child’s academic success is you, yes you the parent.

That might feel surprising, but decades of studies confirm it: kids thrive when their parents are engaged in their learning journey. You are the biggest factor in whether your child thrives, no matter what school they attend or what program they’re part of.
