Abstract/Notes: From year to year, the population is certain to increase. As time goes by, it is also accompanied by the development of science and technology that supports human life, including in the field of parenting science or more popularly referred to as parenting science. Various parties invite young parents, or we know the millennial generation, to be better at nurturing their children, especially early childhood. These young parents have wider access to parenting methods in an increasingly open era like today, they can learn many things through books that are sold freely, and also through online seminars or from various other sources of educational content. As said by Dr. Montessori, that the most important thing for millennial parents to realize is that children are part of a society that is still in the process of learning to understand what is in their environment. There are three important things that are the main needs of children in a parenting process, namely nutrition, stimulation and a sense of security. Nutrition is the first principal as a source of child growth in the form of food intake needed by children, stimulation as a process of stimulating maturity in every child's development, and a sense of security as a comfortable atmosphere for children and is a condition that is expected to occur in every child's activity. Parenting science is a form of parenting basic pattern and becomes flexible to be integrated with fields of science related to principles, value systems in society, beliefs, psychology, health, and various other scientific fields. Through the correct understanding of parenting, as well as proper emotional management, millennial parents will be able to live in the right parenting atmosphere, where they are able to present a comfortable family atmosphere, become a source of security for children, and form positive characters in children as their basis. grow into a dignified adult human. When they are adults, the provision of nutrition, stimulation and a sense of security will also be repeated to their children and their offspring in the future.

Abstract/Notes: This mixed method study seeks to utilize a comparative analysis to explore the impacts of two types of parental involvement in urban elementary school students’ academic performance. Epstein’s (1995) widely cited typology describes six different types of parental involvement, and this typology serves as a framework for this study. More specifically, this study compares learning at home and collaborating with community, as parent involvement types, to student academic performance. The study utilizes descriptive statistics and correlational analyses to compare parent-reported student performance via a survey instrument and semi-structured focus group interviews to collect narrative data. Parental involvement has been vigorously studied over the last two decades, however, not much data appears to address how collaborating with the community, as a form of involvement, influences student performance and other studies provide an ambiguous picture for learning at home as another parenting type. Furthermore, there is evidence that direct-action parent organizing, as a parental involvement form of collaborating with the community, may impact educational outcomes and this study examines these research areas. After analyzing the data, the researcher did not find evidence of a significant relationship between learning at home and parent-reported student academic performance. However, the study did reveal a significant association between parents who were collaborating with the community and the parent-reported academic performance of their children. This moderate correlation from an often overlooked parenting type, collaborating with the community, may harbor rich findings within the literature and point to the need for greater scrutiny herein. In fact, this provides a warrant for additional research to explore the “efficacy” of collaborating with community as a type of parental involvement that significantly influences positive student academic performance.
