The influence Parents education and income on the children academic achievements at school
Parents have got a strong influence on their children either socially, spiritually, and also academically. This is because the children try to imitate and learn from their parents in all aspects. The most influential part of it all is that parents learn some concepts during their school ages that influences their ways of interaction with their children in the present times around the learning activities around their home.

The most evident part is that most of the parents that have got an educational background tend to talk to, and use more complex and varied language with their children which in turn have future prediction on their childrens language and reading skills throughout their childhood. In addition to that, these parents have got higher expectations for their childrens education which has an effect of a possible prediction of higher attainment by their children (Eccles, 2005, p.192).

Most of the parents with an education background usually make sure their children are exposed to many educational opportunities and also they make sure that they are enrolled in the best private schools and also to get good tutoring help for those children who may have some difficulties in their studies. The parents that have a low education background and that has led to them having poor and stressing jobs usually influence their children in one way or another. This is because through their jobs they influence the values and goals they have to their children. This is argued that the parents that are in the working class jobs are more likely to value intellectual curiosity than the parents in the professional jobs. The parents are also likely to put the model of the importance of intellectual activities at home. The research tests have clearly shown that the amount of education that the parents get is very likely to be very influenced by the various genetic endowments that are linked with the intelligence, motivation, and temperament (Eccles, 2005, p.197). Therefore, the parents are likely to pass of these endowments to their children and they are possibly likely to be facilitated in their achievements.

A prediction is made that shows that the parents educational experience predicts the parental expectations and that with this associations of the expectations with the childrens scores and on a test of the academic knowledge are mediated with the amount of reading and the extent of intellectual stimulation that the parents provide for their them. This shows how the children are really influenced by the parents education.

The influence of income on the education background of children shows that income of the parents has got effect their attainments. A study showed that the low income families instead have high expectations and performance beliefs that did not correlate well with their childrens actual performance that are essential in the restructuring the home and the educational environment. This is explained by the moderate income-earning mothers with high education who have expectations for their childrens academic achievements and that these expectations are related to their children subsequent achievements in math and reading.

Family income has got an influence on the childs education. Families that are having a stable life tend to influence each other whom their sons and daughters will marry. This cements their relationships and their family incomes as well. This will in turn influence the types of schools their children will be exposed to and in turn this will influence their children educational achievement through the kind of opportunities being awarded to them. In addition to that, the wealthy families that live in some neighborhood that is not conducive for their childrens learning, that may allow them to participate in risky activities, they may decide to keep their children away from home by enrolling them in schools and activities that are outside the neighborhood (Davis-Kean, 2005, 298). This provides the children with conduncive environment for learning.

Living in poor and dangerous backgrounds and having a lowly paying and stressful jobs can also undermine the ability of the parents to provide some cognitive experience support for their children due to their poor mental health. Therefore, these kinds of stresses can also undermine the ability of the parents to provide a warm, supportive, and consistent environment for their children. This adversely affects their advancements in education.

Research shows that parent education is related to warm, social climate in the home. This then implies that the mothers education and the family income are the important predators for the physical environment and learning experiences in the home. It is found out that the association of the family income and the parents education and academic achievements are also mediated by the environment. Therefore, it is found that the rich families are able to provide for both a good environment associated with the warm atmosphere from their parental hood (Davis-Kean, 2005, p.299). This stimulates the children achievement in the future.

This study shows that the socio-economic status and the education background of the parents indirectly relates to childrens academic achievement.
