Family problems, such as marital violence, drastic or sudden changes in the functions or
dynamics of the house, difficult financial situations, mistreatment of parents towards their
children or between the same siblings, and lack of communication between household
members, among others, directly affect socialization among students, concentration in the
This issue is of the utmost importance since it often happens that when our students do not
pay attention in class, draw a lot of attention from teachers in the case of younger
children or have difficulty concentrating when studying, they are thinking about, for
example, the argument or fight that they had or saw their parents involved in or in that
Likewise, this issue has its repercussions in our society and more specifically in our
family stability, which contributes to achieving mental balance. During the first years of
life until the years of schooling, the family is the most influential environment in the
child's cognitive, emotional, psychosocial, and personal development. Then we can say
that the family provides the child with signs of affection, acceptance or rejection, value,
“Academic performance was obtained from school records. We found that students who
reported more anxious/depressed and thought problems were less likely to perform
poorly, while those with increased levels of attention problems and delinquent behavior
had higher risk for academic underachievement. This investigation demonstrates that
behavior are independently associated with academic performance, which emphasize the
need for preventive and treatment interventions targeted at students' mental health to

Parental involvement in their children's education is very important. When parents participate
in the educational process of accompanying their children, they generally obtain better
results in school, behave better, have more positive attitudes towards studies, and grow to
be more successful with goals in life. For this reason, when there is little participation
from families, students tend to feel a lack of support, a lack of supervision and guidance
from parents, and children become inattentive or disinterested in their studies because
they do not feel motivated. Moreover, therefore, their performance is lower than of

This tells us that when children feel that their parents do not pay attention to them or spend
time listening, they look for other ways to compensate for their loneliness such as video
games and the Internet. In the same way that disruptive behaviors are triggered in the
classroom during the school stage, causing reactions that can also be negative for the kid
themself, for example, rejection by the parents, classmates, and teachers, social isolation,
behaviors are disturbing or aggressive actions that break discipline and alter the harmony
of the group, hindering the teaching-learning process and attention in the classroom.
The first and most important referent of virtue and character that a child can have, is the adult
who takes care of them. The relationships between parents, or caregivers and children are
based on the educational norms that regulate coexistence among all the members around
disorders of students who live in this situation. Unfortunately, many parents think that
their children do not realize what is happening and that therefore it does not affect them,
when in reality it is quite the opposite, since the children are looking for a way to make
themselves seen, to say that they are there, that they feel and that also matter. In general,
When family dynamics change, it is triggered at a time in the child's life in which he is
already aware or just trying to understand the situation, it represents a very hard blow for
them. If we think about it a little, the family at that moment means everything for them,
Adults are reacting in the same way to the situations they live in, at work, as a couple, and
many times surviving financially with a lot or with a little, and adults understand this type
of situation and analyze the factors giving reasons for them, but Not a child, for him it is
something incomprehensible and they generally seek to blame someone, often themselves
and seek ways to express their emotions, both negative and positive, as consequences of
Within our classrooms, we are going to find the studious child, the talkative child, the
mischievous child, or the aggressive child, the latter is the one that most affects the

place, my classroom, which obviously exceeds the limits of acceptable behavior, but
finally, they are wanting to express what they feel in a safe place, as is school.
The first reaction of us as teachers is to repress or call their attention, but we need to give
them the task of investigating the reason for these reactions in order to give them
adequate attention and care they are needing. Teachers can conclude about some of these
family issues, for various reasons, such as divorce, abandonment, mistreatment, and
financial problems. It is important for teachers to have a general knowledge of the family
situation of their students, especially those with greater needs, whether it is behavior,
Family problems are usually transferred by the child to the school environment, either in the
form of learning disorders or behavioral disorders. Unstable homes are the most harmful
for children since they present a certain hostility between the couple, and if the child
receives aggression or mistreatment from the parents or caregivers, possibly there will be
Conclusions.
Today more than ever we continue to join our efforts so that the education of our children
and adolescents continues, understanding that each family has its own context and
Who said being a parent or guardian would be easy? No way! Especially in a country like the
United States, where the father and today the mother, are placed as provider figures, due
to our culture where the man keeps the house and we do not manage him as an affective
figure, so that it is important to turn this role around for our future generations.
Fathers' Involvement is important for children growth, according to the National Center for
Health Statistics analysis of the 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth looked
closely at several measures of fathers' involvement with their children, and these are
• 16% of fathers talked with their school-aged child every day about things that had
• Younger fathers (age 15-24) were more likely to have eaten a meal with their child in
• 65% of fathers talked with their school-aged child every day about things that had
• 70% of black fathers had bathed, dressed, or diapered their young children, or helped
them use the toilet, every day (compared with 60% white fathers and 45% Hispanic
fathers).
• Black fathers (27%) of school-aged children were more likely to take their children to
• 41% of black fathers helped their children with homework every day (compared with
29% Hispanic fathers and 28% white fathers). (Jones et al., 2022).
Also, “While parenting can be stressful, only 11% of children have parents who say they are
usually or always stressed from parenting. (Jones et al., 2022). Most parents of teens (age
12-17) feel they can share ideas and talk about things that really matter very well (63%);
only 5% felt they could not communicate well. (Jones et al., 2022). Parents of three out of
four teens feel that their family can talk about and work together to resolve problems,
knowing that they have strengths to draw on and can be hopeful even in difficult times”
According to Katherine Schaeffer from the Pew Research Center “Working moms in the U.S.
have faced challenges on multiple fronts during the pandemic. In the early months of the
pandemic, there was an increase in the share of mothers who said they preferred not to
“ In an October 2020 survey, about a quarter (27%) of mothers with children younger than 18
at home said that at that point in their life, the best work arrangement for them personally
would be not working for pay at all, up from 19% who said so in a summer 2019 survey.”
(Schaeffer, 2022)

The share of mothers who said working full time would be best for them dropped from 51%
to 44% during that span, while around three-in-ten in both surveys said they would prefer
between teachers and parents, not only so that both parties are in communication, but also
so that in case there is a family problem that is affecting the behavior and performance of
the child can realize in time and be able to help the students have an integral
development.
Understanding that one of the challenges of today is to improve the educational level, for this
reason it is considered important that the work of the teacher is focused not only on the
work of the students within the school, but also to know a little about the family
environment of this to understand the reason for the different behaviors that students
Something interesting and very significant is that parents and caregivers have the duty to be
well informed about the problems that afflict their children in order to help them, advise
them, since the help and guidance that parents offer to develop the child's potential is
essential and above all to participate in the intellectual and personal development of their
children.
