During childhood development children need the support from parents or guardians to up hold success in school. Today in society the opposite is seen almost too often. The National PTA defines this as the "great shift." As adolescents approach their high school years many have growing need to develop a sense of self and independence, which separates them from their parents. In turn adolescents begin to see choices and weigh them against consequences, learn from their mistakes, and lay the foundation for their values which steer them towards the decisions and actions they make. This causes parents to drift from there children to allow a sense of self-identity. Parents" involvement drifts due to their child's growing independence. Any body who has been an adolescent and even the National PTA knows that it is no longer "cool" to be seen with your parents. With more parental involvement in adolescents" high school years, children would benefit from having more structure and guidance, creating stronger educational foundations.
The National Education Association defines parental involvement as: reading to your child, checking homework every night, limiting TV viewing on school nights, and helping your school to set challenging academic standards. The NEA says it is not necessary to do them all. Every body is different and different needs need to be determined. The important thing is to pick certain ways to get involved and continue to stay involved. .
Growing up I personally had very conservative parents but, oddly enough were very liberal when it came to my school work. Their motto was that if I brought home a bad grade it was my own fault and in order to succeed I would have to try harder next time. This also was true of many decisions I made, good or bad. It was not till in my college years that I truly figured this out a distinction between good and bad. I spent much of my younger years getting in trouble and this left little time to focus on my school work.
