necessary in generating new knowledge on how to ease this problem.

1. It is also suggested that parent should always communicate to their child day by

day, communication is key to have an understanding between the parent and the

students. By communicating, students can express their self, and also parents are

responsible to check their academics and find ways to support opportunities that

will enrich their lives. Parents should imply effective communication and provide

support to be a successful individual. In addition, parents should provide moral

28

 support, not only financial support. Thus, highly recommended that parent always

monitor their child to establish a communication between the student.

2. this study recommends that student should have effective communication with

their parents. Voice out their concern about something to make their parents

identify if there any hindrance in their academics. Also, students should ask more

guidance or let their parents be aware in their academic to lessen the hindrances

to their success. Students need motivation from their parents to lead them to

success. Motivation is the number one need of the student especially to student

who has low grades because of lack of communication. Additionally, students can

perform well when they are motivated by their parent academically.

3. This study recommends that teacher stand as second parent of the students, so

they must motivate them in school. Student needs a support from their teachers to

have a motivational to doing their academics goes to success. Also, by

communicating their students can easily to understand what's the hindrance to be

successful. In addition, teachers enhance their skills also they can motivate the

student to talk to their parents.

Parental involvement in student academic achievement like the perceived effects
