Introduction: An individual's academic success can be affected by his/her education level, economic situation, educational awareness, and family time and attention.
Objective: The study examines multiple factors affecting the academic success of families in their parenting duties and illustrates the growing academic responsibility that families bear.
Methods: In this study, using the quantitative research method, 351 students and 301 parents were determined by using a simple random sampling method for students and a purposeful sampling method for parents. Two scales were used to collect data: the Parental Academic Success Pressure and Support Scale and the Family Participation Scale.
Results: The results suggest that the educational level of both parents, especially mothers, influences academic support. Parents of sons, in particular, appear to exert more pressure on their children to achieve academic success. In conclusion, parents' pressure on their children to succeed academically was in favor of boys, and the education level of both parents, especially the mother, affected academic support.
Conclusion: Unfortunately, in large families, students' academic performance and ability to meet their needs are negatively impacted by the large number of children in their care. This suggests that as the number of children in their care increases, their responsibilities also increase, leading to a decrease in school participation. Consequently, parental attitudes and behaviors are also influenced by psychological factors such as the number of family members, the number of children in school, and the individual's anxiety regarding academic success. A family participation level affects young mothers' involvement among parents, school participation increases with the number of family members, and academic achievement is influenced by residence and the number of children.
