Millennials, the generation born between 1980 and 1994, have distinguished themselves by their adaptability, tech-savviness, and collaborative values. The current study explored millennial parents' perceptions of parental involvement in their children's elementary education in Johnson County, Kansas elementary schools. Grounded in Epstein's model…

This study provides a model of a school-based, parent intervention to support parents in building children's mathematics understanding at home. Participating parents received instruction on how to support elementary children's mathematical homework using literacy strategies. The researchers designed and implemented a five-week model with the goal…

Kindergarten readiness is shaped by both family and school contexts, highlighting the importance of an ecological perspective on early learning. The current study examined whether parental engagement mediates the relationship between parents' protective factors (e.g., social support) and children's kindergarten readiness when controlling for…

Parental involvement and student self-regulation are widely recognized as critical factors influencing academic success. However, quantitative research examining the relationship between these two variables remains limited. This study investigated the association between parental involvement and students' self-regulation skills, as well as…

Background: Stuttering development in preschool children might be influenced by parents' concern, awareness and knowledge. Indirect treatment may therefore be appropriate. Intervention in a group format has been shown to be positive for stuttering and an online procedure increases the accessibility of the intervention. Aims: The aim of this study…

Research demonstrates a connection between parent perspectives and children's decisions to pursue careers in STEM (e.g. Albritton et al., 2020; Fouad et al., 2016). However, there is limited research on parents' impact on CS education advocacy. Through one-on-one parent interviews, this study found that parents engage in educational advocacy, but…

Background: Speech sound disorders (SSDs) are broadly defined as difficulty producing speech sounds in childhood. Reported prevalence of SSD varies from 2.3% to 24.6%, depending on how SSD is defined and the included age range. SSDs that do not resolve before age 8 can have a lasting impact on a child's academic achievements. The intensity of…

Although parental involvement is known to be crucial for the academic and social development of students, especially those with learning difficulties, little is known about the relationship of schools' invitations with parents' motivational beliefs. A sample of N = 881 German parents of secondary school students, of which N = 119 were identified…

Parental educational anxiety (PEA) is a significant risk factor for children's development and well-being. Previous studies argued that parental educational expectation (PEE) might be one of the predictors of PEA. This study investigates the influence of PEE on PEA and the mechanism of their association among Chinese parents. This study proposes a…

Although phonics knowledge and decoding skill are important for academic and life success, there is little research that examines the effects of home-based, family-implemented instruction on the development of these early literacy skills. The purpose of this multiple baseline across participants single case experimental design study was to…

While previous research on private tutoring has focused predominantly on its meso- or macro-level determinants, this qualitative study, anchored in the literature on parental involvement, explores proximal factors, including psychological and situational influences, that affect parental decisions to seek private tutoring. The study is based on…
