Families
Parents play a crucial role in influencing their children's academic achievement and attitudes towards school, regardless of family diversity. Key factors include parenting styles, co-parenting, family structure, and school-family partnerships.
Parenting Styles
Authoritarian
High demands, low responsiveness. Children tend to be anxious and socially incompetent.
Authoritative
High demands, high responsiveness. Children tend to be self-reliant, socially competent, and high-achieving.
Neglectful
Low demands, low responsiveness. Children tend to have poor self-control and low self-esteem.
Indulgent
Low demands, high responsiveness. Children tend to lack self-control and have difficulty with independence.
While authoritative parenting is generally linked to positive outcomes, the effectiveness of parenting styles can vary across cultures and socioeconomic contexts. Factors like cultural values, family structure, and neighborhood environment can influence the impact of parenting styles on child development.

School-Family Linkages
Parents continue to influence children's development throughout school. Effective school-family partnerships involve parents asking specific questions about their child's schoolwork and projects. Resources like the National Network of Partnership Schools can provide guidance.
Early childhood
Parental involvement is crucial for student success. Teachers engage parents through communication, conferences, and workshops to create a collaborative learning community.

High School: Grades 9-12
The teacher makes a conscious effort to be visible in the school community by shopping locally and attending school events. This helps build relationships with students and parents, fostering a more approachable and welcoming environment.
Peers
Peers greatly influence children's development and school success. Positive peer relationships contribute to better adjustment and academic achievement. Peers provide social information and comparison beyond the family.
Peer Statuses
Children can be categorized into five peer statuses: popular, average, neglected, rejected, and controversial. Popular children are well-liked, while rejected children are often disliked and may experience adjustment problems. Social skills training programs can help improve the social skills and self-esteem of rejected children. Bullying is a significant peer-relations issue that can have negative consequences for victims.
Friendship
Friendships significantly impact children's academic and emotional well-being. Having friends can lead to better grades, prosocial behavior, and emotional health. However, the quality of friendships matters. Friends who are academically oriented and socially skilled can positively influence a child's development. In contrast, friends who engage in negative behaviors can increase a child's risk of similar behaviors.
The Self
The Italian playwright Ugo Betti observed that children possess a distinct sense of self. Psychologists refer to this as self-esteem and identity.
Self-Esteem
It's important to note that correlation doesn't equal causation. While low self-esteem and poor academic performance are often linked, it's unclear which one causes the other. Boosting self-esteem doesn't always lead to improved academic performance.
Self-esteem varies across different domains, such as academics, athletics, and social skills. Teachers can implement strategies to promote self-esteem in their classrooms.
Self-esteem, or self-worth, significantly impacts a person's well-being. High self-esteem is linked to positive outcomes like academic achievement and mental health. Conversely, low self-esteem can lead to negative consequences such as depression and delinquency.
While self-esteem fluctuates throughout development, it's crucial to address persistent low self-esteem, particularly during adolescence. Interventions like physical activity can positively impact self-image.
Identity Development
Identity development is a crucial aspect of adolescence. During this time, young people explore questions about their identity, values, and future goals. This process helps shape their sense of self and guides their future decisions.
Identity Statuses
James Marcia's theory of identity development focuses on exploration and commitment. Individuals can be classified into four identity statuses based on their level of exploration and commitment to different identities.
Identity diffusion
Individuals in identity diffusion have not yet explored different options or made commitments. They are often uninterested in such matters.
Identity foreclosure
Individuals in identity foreclosure have made commitments without exploring different options. This often occurs when parents impose their choices on their adolescents.
Identity moratorium
Individuals in identity moratorium are actively exploring different options but have not yet made firm commitments. They are in a state of crisis and uncertainty.
Identity achievement
Individuals in identity achievement have explored different options and made firm commitments. They have a clear sense of identity and direction.
Ethnic Identity
Ethnic identity is a sense of belonging to an ethnic group. It's influenced by cultural context and personal experiences. A positive ethnic identity is linked to positive outcomes for minority youth, such as higher academic engagement and lower aggression.
Exploring one's ethnic identity is crucial for developing a strong sense of self and positive attitudes towards one's own group and others.
Moral Development
Moral development is influenced by cognitive, behavioral, and emotional factors.

Emotional
How individuals feel about moral issues, such as empathy and guilt.
Kohlberg’s Theory
Lawrence Kohlberg proposed a theory of moral development that focuses on how individuals reason about moral dilemmas. As individuals mature, their moral reasoning becomes more internal and sophisticated. Kohlberg's theory outlines several stages of moral development, each characterized by different levels of moral reasoning.
