    Article

    Parents have a major responsibility to educate their children in the UAE. This shows how their participation and patronage affect the progress of students both in class and personally. Given the fact that education plays a critically important role in the UAE’s development, the role of parents is especially vital in the context of the country’s continuous improvement of the educational system. 

    Here are the major roles parents play in a child’s education. 

    Parents Role in Education

    Here are the complete details regarding the role of parents in education. 

    Supporting Academic Achievement

    Taking a detailed look at the student’s performance, parental support is critical to the student’s academic success. They said that it assists in their academic endeavours in school. Parents who attend their children’s school and support them help the children in gaining what they require for their success.

    Homework Help

    Offering help with homework or school projects reinforces the information and helps the child to comprehend. Parents who assist their children with homework show the child the significance of acquiring knowledge and the reason behind the struggle. Such support can go a long way in the difference when it comes to the performance of a child in school.

    Encouragement and Motivation

    The encouragement as well as the motivation provided by the parents compel the students to work hard in their classes. Parents’ reward encourages children making them become confident and have high self-esteem. It also enhances their attitude towards learning by helping them. It is encouraging to note that students should be encouraged to work harder because the management responds to any achievement, however small.

    Attitude Towards Learning Introduction

    Parents show the children how they should perceive education which includes passion for learning and value of education. They influence how children start to view and respond to their studies since their formative years are, in most cases, spent in school.

    Role Modeling

    Educated parents set good examples of students in school and the children mimic what they want to emulate. When parents continue their learning throughout their lives and show curiosity and interest in knowledge, the child will also develop such attitudes. Such modelling of positive behaviour serves to support the relevant aspects of education in people’s daily existence.

    Positive Reinforcement

    Parents’ encouragement contributes to positive feelings and self-confidence in addition to fostering the right attitude toward studying. Instead of praising the outcomes, if a child is encouraged to work hard, he/she will welcome difficulties and invest a great amount of time in studies. It creates a growth attitude in that students see the effort as the key to their success.

    Enhancing Communication with Schools

    This paper focuses on distinguishing between good communication and bad interaction between parents and schools to meet students’ needs. It can guarantee the parents are informed about their child's education needs and get involved in it.

    Involvement in School Activities

    Parents and teachers are also encouraged to engage their children in organized school events since this nurtures mutual cooperation. Coming in to help, participating in school performances, participating in parent workshops and involvement in PTAs foster a sense of community so that each party feels responsible for the student. This type of involvement also benefits in illustrating to children that their education is significant and encouraged.

    Building Emotional Resilience

    Discussing strategies to impact emotional resilience in children to prevent them from giving up supports the children so that they are ready to meet difficulties and failures. Parents have the responsibility of explaining how to handle it, they can also talk with the child and embrace all the feelings. Coping with emotions is crucial in handling academic stress and development.

    Fostering Social Skills

    Promoting children’s engagement in after-school activities as well as interactions assists in the development of social skills. These notions enable the students to demonstrate teamwork, empathy, and proper communication skills. One learns to interact with other people and relates well with other individuals when in a given learning group.


    Education of children especially in the UAE is incomplete without parents' involvement in the education process of their children. This undertaking highlights the ways that parents can help at home and elsewhere to support their child’s educational success as well as personal growth and development by; Encouraging academic success, positivity over education, & communication with school, Positive parenting, Learning throughout life, and social-emotional development.
