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.
