Vygotsky (1978) asserted that the path between a child's thinking
and their academic achievement is influenced by the important
people in their lives, in particular their parents. This book
presents case stories that show how parents play a crucial role in
influencing their children's academic achievement because of the
way parents communicate their sociocultural values and practices.
In the light of these stories and the critical exploration in
connection with the prevalent literature in the field, parents are
encouraged to maximise their children's academic achievement
through the appropriate opportunities that allow for interaction
and communication of their expectations and values. This book is
useful for all students and researchers from the broad area of
education and psychology, and most of all, for parents.
