Research shows that families that provide a stimulating, language-rich, supportive environment for learning have a larger
probability to have children with adequate school adaptation and achievements.
When children come to school prepared with proper attitude, habit and skill to
take the fullest advantage of the teacher’s instruction, their motivation for
in-school learning increases as well as their self-esteem.
Schools can support parents in providing a positive learning
environment at home. In return, children's motivation for learning in-
school would help to enhance the teacher’s own effectiveness and
satisfaction.
A positive learning environment at home is more a powerful support of children's
school achievements than the parents’ level of education or socioeconomic status.
