INTRODUCTION In this era, every family is worried about the academic achievement (AA) of their children, especially Indian families try to maintain healthy home environment (HE) to accelerate their children's AA. The self-concept (SC) is also one of the important factors contributing to the development of personality and boosting AA. SC, along with the psychological atmosphere at home, influences the AA. Hence, the present research was planned to investigate the effect of HE, family types (FT), and SC on AA of the students. Both, HE and SC will largely contribute to acceleration of adolescents' AA. The way person has been raised, his elementary, secondary and advanced education, his friends, his religion, his political group, his neighborhood, all may hold or hinder his AA. The environmental influence starts very early in lifetime, that is, right from the perinatal developmental stage of the child. Home is the most important part of the environment, where child is brought up and spends years of his/her life. When the child starts going to school, he/she is there only for a part of time, spending only few hours there in studying, while spends rest of the time at the home. Home is the beginning point of individual's life and various factors associated with the HE may affect or influence AA of the child. Besides, socioeconomic status of the family, some of the HE factors were found to have an impact on AA of the child: the attitude of the parents towards the education of child and kind of relations among family members (Samul,1986),

Interest is just emerging as a critical bridge between cognitive and affective issues in both learning and development. This developing "interest" in interest appears to be linked to an increasing concern for studying the individual in context, examining affective variables as opposed to purely structural features of text, analyzing the interrelationship of cognitive and social development, understanding practical applications of theories of motivation, and recognizing the importance of developmental psychology for the study of learning. This book addresses both how individual interest and interest inherent in stimuli (books, text, toys, etc.) across subjects affect cognitive performance. While the book's particular emphasis is on theory-driven research, each of the contributing authors offers a unique perspective on understanding interest and its effects on learning and development. As such, each has contributed a chapter in which particular questions in interest research are described and linked to a clearly stated theoretical perspective and recent findings. Relevant material from the broader literatures of psychology and education are analyzed in the context of these discussions. In addition, the introductory and concluding chapters build on the contributions to the volume by providing the basis of a coherent view of interest across genres such as stories and expository text, and domains as varied as play, reading, and mathematics.

Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
