The main ingredient, the parent!

Truth is Parental Involvement (PI) is the missing link in education, the decline in public school exam results points to an absent parent. Parents have taken the back seat and only show up when exam results are released, pointing accusing fingers at poor teachers.

Our point of departure when dealing with PI should be the knowledge that, children do things to impress their parents. And that as babies, they respond with smiles to affirmation and positive words from parents. As a result, it goes without saying that PI isn’t optional.
