Motivator is to encourage children to be more active and creative in the learning process. Parents here must support and give direction in the success of their children's learning. Researchers observed parents and identified activities as they accompanied their children in the online learning process.
In the learning process, there are various materials given by the teacher to the students, especially in learning English. Online learning is a new learning in the teaching and learning process that uses electronic devices, especially the Internet, in the delivery of learning. In this case it is the mother who is more active in assisting the child in the learning process.
In the teaching and learning process here, the parental role is very necessary because children definitely need assistance or perhaps guidance from parents. Here, parents should cooperate with each other in the child's learning process, because sometimes there are also some parents who do not follow their children during the learning process. So in online learning there are usually parents who do not understand and participate in the teaching process of their children.
The role of parents in this online lesson can be in the form of following, supervising, helping, explaining the material to the children. Now we can see the thoughts of parents when they accompany their children in the learning process.
Discussion
The role of parents in the online learning process
Parents play a very important role in children's education, especially in the learning process that parents must guide their children, especially in these times when children have to study at home. Parents have a duty to motivate and enthuse their children about learning, so that children can participate well and effectively in learning with the help of parents. Parents are obliged to provide children with good facilities and when children experience problems in the learning process, parents are also obliged to provide solutions and help children continue to learn.
Parents play an important role in the child's learning process, such as when children have difficulty understanding the material, parents become teachers, such as help children understand learning material that children do not understand the material. From the results of the study, many parents of class VIII students are aware of the importance of parental mentoring when learning online, but. Mentoring is an effort of the family, especially the parents, accompanying the children to meet the needs and solve the children's problems to support the optimization of the children's development.
Things parents do when children don't want to learn, parents provide motivation and give advice to children so that children still want to learn. Not only children, but also parents are bored if they have to be the main source of material for children when they are studying remotely.

Parental assistance in the learning process is the parents' efforts to accompany, provide assistance to overcome children's problems with learning,. The role of parents here is as controlling, facilitating children by providing textbooks, cell phones and laptops, and also as motivators for children, providing direction and motivation. In learning to speak, parents have a role in supporting their children's learning, namely parents control the teaching and learning process, as facilitators, motivators and also teachers for children.
From the result, we conclude that parents, in the role of parents who support their children's learning, have the role of encouragers and motivators for children, so that children are more active in the learning process. In learning to write, the role of parents in supporting children during the online learning process is supervisory, facilitative and motivational. Haeruddin.
