Impact of Parental Involvement on Self-Help Skills of Kindergarten Learners.

This study explored the relationship between parental involvement and the self-help skills of kindergarten learners. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, the study aimed to determine whether parental involvement significantly impacted the development of children's self-help skills. Data were collected from parents through two adapted surveys: the Parental Involvement Survey and the Self-Help Skills Survey, which measured various indicators related to participation in school activities and children's proficiency in daily tasks. The findings indicated no significant relationship between parental involvement and the self-help skills of the learners, suggesting a negligible positive correlation. This result contrasts with previous studies that demonstrated a strong link between parental involvement and children's skill development. Despite the lack of statistical significance, the study underscores the continued importance of parental engagement and the need for collaboration between educators and parents to support the holistic growth of children, including the development of essential self-help skills.
