Parental involvement is essential in the education of children.

A study by Australian Catholic University psychologists suggests that whether parents are optimistic or critical can affect their children's performance.

A research team, including psychologist Philip Parker, conducted a study to clarify the relationship between parents' financial status and their children's performance.

Parker et al. Aggregate the results of the ability evaluation test 'NAPLAN ' conducted on Australian children based on the data of the large-scale study 'LSAC ' conducted on Australian children in the past. .. We asked mothers' evaluations of the results, and classified mothers who optimistically perceive their children's performance as 'optimism' and mothers who perceive pessimism as 'pessimism' and associated them with their performance.

The survey found that the more optimistic the mother was, the better the child was and the greater the interest in schoolwork. Parker and colleagues said, 'If parents are optimistic, performance that was 50% in the fifth year could rise to 55% in the seventh year, and conversely if parents are pessimistic, in the fifth year. A grade that was 50% could drop to 45% in the 7th year. '



'On average, we found that mothers were optimistic about their children's performance,' Parker and colleagues said. Parker and colleagues said, 'Parents may spend more time and resources on their children if they believe in their children's success, and the feeling that'parents are by their side'may motivate their children. I am considering.
