In terms of modeling, the parents show to their child that they must not give up when things get tough in school and they show that they gain as much knowledge as possible, and they can learn new things. In terms of reinforcement, parents are strongly agree that they show their child that they like it when their child is eager to learn new things and skills to develop and maintain their child?s attributes which can result with positive learning outcomes. In terms of Instruction, they teach their child to ask questions when they are unsure about something. and adhere to the teacher's instructions.
