Abstract
The parent-child relationship is often considered to be the most enduring and significant relationship in one's life. The term parent-child relationship refers to the unique and enduring bond between a caregiver and his or her child. To understand the parent-child relationship, we must look at the ways that parents and children interact with one another physically, emotionally, and socially. The parent-child relationship has a deep impact on the academic achievement and performance of the children. Academic achievement can influence the future education and career choices of children and adolescents. Poor academic performance causes children and adolescents to feel pessimistic and disappointed about their future and leads teachers and parents to exert pressure, which negatively influences the subjective well-being of children and adolescents. In the present paper an attempt has been made to examine the relationship parent-child relationship and academic performance.
