Parent engagement in schools can promote positive health behaviors among children and adolescents. For example, students who feel supported by their parents are less likely to be emotionally distressed, practice unhealthy eating behaviors, attempt suicide, or drop out of school. In addition, school efforts to promote health among students have been shown to be more successful when parents are involved.
