achievements in school. The first study is how families expectations for
kindergarten has changed but their home practices have not. In 2007, it was
reported parents have a higher expectation of levels of skills for their 3 and 4
years old but yet there was no change in their family activities to support those
skills. The second study examines how family activities effect childrens

This article answers many important questions that parents and educators might
have about family involvement in their childrens school. Parents who had
greater involvement in their childs preschool years have more satisfaction with
their academics. After interviewing a number of families about positive
experiences in early childhood, they have found that parents read more to their
children, are more likely to visit their childs classroom and will have stronger
relationships with other parents. Parents and families involvement is also
correlated to how welcome they feel in the school.

involvement and how it can increase childrens academic success.
