Parent involvement has positive influences on children's education. More schools are observing its importance and are encouraging families to become more involved. Because of this recent trend, it has become essential to understand what is meant by parent involvement and how it influences education. Research has indicated that family involvement improves facets of children's education such as daily attendance, student achievement, behavior, and motivation (Brooks, Bruno, & Burns, 1997; Cotton & Wikelund, 2001; Sheldon & Epstein, 2001; Simon, 2000; Van Voorhis, 2001).
