DISCUSSIONS

Children's performances in school and in the community were anchored largely on their families because the development of their attitudes and behaviors started and molded at home. If they feel that their parents are concerned about the things they are doing in school, they are inspired to do things better in school. Children perceived the instructions and teachings of their parents and that greatly influences performance particularly study habits, self-discipline and their relations with peers and playmates.
