Keywords:

Parent-child Relationship is an amalgamation of emotions, beliefs and practices followed by parents to nurture the psychological, physical and social development of the child. All these elements blend in unique ways for each parent and child to create improbable multiplicity in the qualities of these relationships. Parent-child relationship is an exceptional source to determine the personality and psycho-social development of children. It also affects academic achievement of the child in diverse ways. The rationale behind the study is to evaluate the relationship between academic achievement and parent child relationship of students. Researcher employed survey method to conduct the study. “Parent child relationship scale (PCRS-RN) developed by Nalini Rao (2016)” was used to collect data from 300 students of secondary school selected by following random sampling approach. Analysis of data was done by using statistical techniques, t-test and product moment correlation. The results of study showed that students having favourable and unfavourable parent-child relationship differ significantly in the academic achievement. It was observed that female secondary school students have more cordial relationship with their parents than male students. A significant positive correlation was observed between parent-child relationship and academic achievement of secondary school students.
