In modern society, raising children might be strenuous for parents, especially those
who work together for a living. However, some parents cannot take care of their children for
this reason sometimes. Actually, the involvement of parents to their children is quite important
for their life. If parents care about childrens future, they should concern about it by showing
interest on them. A research reported that parents educational expectations for their children
play a significant role. (Ross, 2016) Also, it has been reported that parents contribution would
play an important role to childrens social outcomes. (Garbacz, 2) Parents beliefs and
behaviors can influence childrens perceptions of their own ability and the value the children
attached to various achievements. These reasons are why parents should intervene in childrens
diverse aspects. Children demand parents attention on their various performances and as
parents give attentions on their children they should proceed gradually. (Eccles, 6) Therefore,
parents will play a vital role in childrens academic achievement, social competences, and self-
perceptions.
Academic ability is crucial for students to enter a good university or to have a fine job. Parental

it appears that keep giving interest in childrens academic outcome is effective to develop their
performances. Whether mothers and fathers engage in children is vital predictors of attainment
in future. (Povey, 31) Also, parents involvement, especially when mothers engage, influences
their childrens language skills. (Cabus, 2017) Moreover, a conversation with parents about
their career developed explorations of their future dreams. (Kracke ,2) Having a little talk can
improve dreaming about their vivid future increasingly. Parent-child relationship as well as
parental support regarding career-related issues were also good predictors of the level of
engagement of parents is associated with students social skills. (Garbacz, 2) If mothers and
fathers do not consider whether their children are on right direction or not, they could go to the
wrong way. Mostly, mothers are the ones who used to take care about their children, but as time
has changed parenting styles has changed too. In addition, these days it is known that fathers
engagement to children is crucial for their social development. (Kim, 2017) Thus, it would be
needed for fathers and mothers to look after their children for their social improvement.
(Engaged parents are more likely to also be an important source of social persuasion,
providing positive feedback to their child about their ability to apply themselves to their
schoolwork, take on new challenges and learn new things. (Povey, 2016) As it says, providing
positive feedbacks could develop childrens skills more than just doing nothing. Moreover,
researchers say that parents involvement impacts social success of their children. (Ross, 5) If

But, immoderate involvement can bring negative effects on children. Always, being
excessive makes adverse effects. For example, similar to previous research, parent-school
contact regarding students school problems was negatively associated with all outcomes
studied. (Ross, 2016) In addition, adolescents felt undermining their sense of autonomy and
competence when their parents had frequent discussions about their future plans with school.
(Povey, 2016) It is parents job to encourage their children to make self-perception. Fathers and
mothers have to be flexible when they treat their child. For children, it might helpful and
thankful as parents wanting to know what they are doing, but they need their own time too.
Especially many children who are in adolescence prefer being alone not controlled by someone.
But, parents should not take eyes off from them, because they would be leaded to a wrong way.
If parents do not intervene in children too much, they would be the perfect parents for children.

Knowing oneself to know how much they are precious could be a glory for a person. For
children, parents are the ones who can lead them in their life. Do not scold them because of the
reason that they did not get good score on their test. The more parents concern their child, the
more they would advance in ones life. For instance, utilizing adolescent children reports
