Abstract

The study aimed to explore the dynamics of parenting in relation to parent-child relationship, communication, self-esteem, and academic achievement among female students in private schools of District Jhang, with a focus on the mother-daughter dyad. Grounded in four theoretical frameworks—Bio-ecological Theory, Family Systems Theory, Social Capital Theory, and Symbolic Interactionism—the research adopted a quantitative survey design using a structured questionnaire. A total of 150 female students aged 16–18 from 11th and 12th grades were selected through convenient sampling. Data analysis using Chi-square tests revealed significant differences in parent-child relationships and communication patterns. Notably, academic achievement and self-esteem levels were found to be significantly higher among students in private schools, indicating the positive influence of strong parent-child dynamics on student outcomes.

Key Words: parent, children, academic performance, school-going, district Jhang.
