Importance of the family in education
Education starts from home, a complement of knowledge is school and even any other extracurricular activity. Parents are the child's main and first approach to values, culture and traditions, they absorb the behavior, attitudes, routines they see within the family bosom, and it will undoubtedly be what sets the tone for their behavior within the classroom and in contact with society.
The family is undoubtedly the basis of education, and parents for this reason are a fundamental part of the emotional development of children, because they learn to defend themselves, to identify what they like or don't like, promotes self-esteem, confidence in themselves and towards others, therefore the peace of mind of knowing that they have their parents gives them a better performance in school.
How can the family be involved in education?
Parents, they are the first motivation of a child, your support, getting involved in education is not taking them to school, buy them supplies and apparently fulfill their duty of giving school to the children, goes further.
Getting involved with children's education is, improve communication and trust day by day, is worrying about conflicts, triumphs or concerns that are had in school, is to review the task book not only to sign when they have done it but to take a look to know what they are learning, what are your points of improvement and strengths.
Parents get involved when they attend, support and enter the events, school philosophy and feedbacks, When a child works as a family and knows that they have the support of their parents to achieve their goals, they are not only more competent, able, efficient, but they have the security that will bring them afloat in life.
Attending events shows that, you are present as a father as an accomplice and as support. To achieve this, it is necessary to “reprogram the chip” to focus on family participation in education, since parents can also be trained by being in contact with teachers., principals and other parents to compare ideas, and improve the quality of study of the children.
The importance of getting involved as a parent in education is to make a fusion from the perspective of values and knowledge. In the family the son is special and unique, At school, a child is on the list, but when you have a good relationship with the parents, the result is to create the best social environment because the perfect balance is given for the child by feeling recognized by their parents and knowing that there is confidence to talk about their concerns without fear of scolding and hoping to have an answer and a solution when they do not find the way.
When parents get involved, negative influences are greatly reduced (EYE that there will always be), a balance is created between affection and discipline, important: Are applied, more easily know and put into practice moral principles for daily life.
We must remember that it is in the family where values are mainly taught, ethics and education, the school at an academic level its main function is that precisely, transmit knowledge and reinforce the values seen at home for a healthy coexistence with both authorities and classmates.
In the family, As the main basis of education, in addition to values, a moral and religious orientation must be learned as well as learning the responsibility of freedom and the discovery and channeling of the child's personality.
In the case of the school, it reinforces participation and encourages collaboration, empathy and teamwork. Then the implementation of home values and applied at school provide the opportunity to have experience, recognize your personality and identity and learn from mistakes that may be made along the way.
Then, education should not be divided between school and family but rather be a parallel complement to the child's identity process, education for no reason will be successful if there is no congruence between one and the other and without communication from both sides.
