The Biological Reason Kids Need Their Parents Involved At School

Local government overreach has moved into family relationships and education. Parents are being kicked out of school hallways and classrooms and told that they don’t have the right to see what their kids are learning. Aside from the sociopolitical impact, there is a deeper issue at work here: child well-being.

Kids need parental involvement in their education for many reasons. Their neurobiological, psychological and cognitive development depend upon it. Studies show that the adults who have the greatest impact on a child’s psychological and physical health are parents. Kids with involved parents use less drugs, get into trouble less, perform better in school, are less depressed and the list goes on. This makes sense because child attachment forms with parents first. Caring mothers give their children security. Fathers who rock their kids and read to them can actually boost the kids’ IQs. We all know that kids need involved parents, but no one will publicly state this for fear of shaming teachers, coaches, etc.
