Research Paper: How Education Level Of Parents affect parenting & children outcome.

** Introduction ~]
In these papers I will discuss one of the most important issues which is related to the family, children, and community. As we know, that parents background is very significant in their own family because parents are playing important and various roles in their family to keep them in save side and also parents are more responsible for their childrens life and themselves life. They should take a role that helping children to grow and get healthy development. The Backgrounds of the parents are affecting children behaviors and their lifestyle in general. However, the education level of parents is one of the important type of parents background which affect children so, I will explain and focus on the importance of education level of parents which consider an important factor of family status normally just like other variables such as; economic status, and social status. The purpose of this research is to investigate how does education level of parents affecting parenting, children outcome, and children development. The importance of my research that there was a few studies were conduct in a relation between parental education and the ways that father and mother used in parenting their children. Parental involvement in the form of 'at-home good parenting' has a significant positive effect on children's achievement and adjustment even after all other factors shaping attainment have been taken out of the equation. Charles Desforges, 2003.

** Statement of the problem ~]

There are many foundations and schools that concerns with parents education and aim to increase the number of highly educated parents. I did my internship for five days on Family Development Foundation, especially on education center senior. This foundation aiming to give chance to non-educated female or mothers to be educated because they recognize the level of parents education is very important in the family and to the best children outcome. As we know, the education level is a predictor to family success and children development. The importance of my internship in this foundation ,education center senior, back to that it seeks to teach senior people because of its importance and usefulness results which reflect these results to their children first and then to the community. The problem was stated when I come up with that question through my observation on the senior (elder female) and their desires to complete their educations. I asked some of the students why they decide to learn now after being a mothers, their answers were ranging between personal desires and to help and support their children in school achievement. However, the level of education has influence on parents firstly in different manner, their knowledge , beliefs, attitudes, values, thinking, and goals about how raising a child truly, so that parents behavior linkage with their education level.

** Discussion ~]

How does the education level of parents affect parenting?


The first part of my question is how does education levels of parents affect parenting. I found that there is connection between parental education and the ways that father and mother used in parenting their children but is less documented. Parenting means that Parenting encompasses different aspects of parent-child interactions that are essential for normal cognitive and social development (Ramey and Ramey, 2000). Research on parenting found that there is a relationship between parents education and warm, social climate in the home. According to Klebanov et al, 1994, this research has shown that mothers education was predictive of parental warmth and both mothers education and family income were important predictors of the physical environment and learning experiences in the home. In my opinion, Parents level of education has really a high impact on parenting in term of the ways of breeding and how to deal with their children in the right and more effective way to become in the future effective parents in their family and to develop society. When I was on foundation I interviewed one women who study their and asked her about her motivations and reasons which led her to start the education. Her response was, I came here to complete my education because I already finish primary school , even grade 6, but after that I married and stopped my education also because my children. Now, I back to complete my education due to the difficulties that I face it these days when I raise my children, everything is changing, and I think when I be highly educated , I will understand my children, their behaviors and requirement better so, my education helping me to nurture my children better.

The education level of parents has influence parenting by different ways such as; higher level of parents education providing them with cognitive resources which can support and facilitate their childrens learning, also education level has influence parenting by developing family contexts with following influence on parent-child interaction, Parents with high level of education are more likely to have better decision-making generally, has more ability to achieve their goals, and improving childrens performance in school. Level of education also facilitating and developing the ability of parents to seek out and information about how are rearing their children better (Ricardo & Leon).

How does education level of parents affect children outcome ?


As everyone know that higher educated parents were not like the parents who has low education level, or may not have. Educated parent is more effective on their children positively than non-educated and this is because of resources that parents with high level of education has access to for example, income, energy, and time. In addition, Children can acquire a lot of social skills and ability to solve problem through observing their parents behaviors. Therefore, parents must be a role model for their children in different fields. There are many studies has shown that parent education is one of the important factors in predicting childrens achievement (Haveman & Wolfe, 1995). By comparing parents who has lower level of education with parents who has higher level of education, examined that highly educated parents have more positive expectations about their childrens academic achievement, and they are more likely to develop or encourage their children to do well in school (Alexander,

all et, 1994). In addition, highly educated parents support their children to engage in higher quality verbal interactions (Hoff, 2003). According to Laosa, 1980, he found that parents who are highly educated have a good teaching styles which enhancing and developing their children. Moreover, the result found by Charles ,2003, that there are multiple methods for parents to be contributed in their childrens education process. Good parenting skills are essential to a childs education. The more parents are involved, the higher the level of attainment of their children is and vice versa. As discussed earlier, parents education is significant to children outcomes. For example, it may be that the parent with education enhances childrens academic success because parents who are more highly educated are more probably to provide and use better and advanced teaching strategies with children. Unfortunately that parents who are less educated are less probably to be involved in their childrens education process. This is because they do not aware about the importance of their interaction with their children at schools .

**Conclusion ~]
At the end, we noted that this research has shown how does education level of parents affect parenting and children outcome in different manner. Therefore, all parents should remember that the children are learning from their parents at earlier years and what they had learned, will affect children for the rest of their lives. Also remember that children are the fundamental to the society because they are our future and the future in their hand , so everyone have seek to improve and develop our society by a good rearing and providing healthy life to the children as we as parents.
