Abstract

The home environment plays a crucial role in a child's development, acting as a foundational social unit that provides emotional and social support. Research indicates that home factors, including parental education, socioeconomic status (SES), and language development opportunities, significantly influence children's academic achievement. A 1978 study by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) highlighted that home variables, alongside children's intelligence, contribute to academic differences. Further studies reveal the importance of parental involvement and nurturing behaviors, like providing learning materials and a supportive atmosphere. This positive home environment fosters intellectual, social, and emotional development, influencing children's psychological competence, problem-solving abilities, and overall academic performance.
