父母与孩子的关系是上帝赋予的世界上最自然、独特和持久的纽带。由于孩子的第一教育始于家庭，因此父母与孩子的关系质量可能会对孩子的生活和学业成绩产生影响。本研究旨在探讨父母与孩子的关系与孩子学业成绩之间的关联。这是一项横断面研究，参与者为 11-17 岁的六至十年级儿童。在孟加拉国拉杰沙希市选择了七所中学进行数据收集。使用父母和同伴依恋量表（Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment，IPPA）的自我管理问卷来了解父母关系的质量。为了评估学业成绩，我们还与相应的班级教师进行了面对面访谈，并从官方记录中获取了考试成绩和出勤率。研究期为 2019 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月，为期一年。在总共 385 名儿童中，53.5%是女孩，46.5%是男孩。儿童的平均年龄为 13.63±1.289 岁。与母亲的良好关系比例为 96.1%，不良关系比例为 3.9%。与父亲的良好关系比例为 93.5%，不良关系比例为 6.5%。本研究发现，男孩似乎比女孩更能与母亲建立良好的关系。研究结果还表明，儿童与母亲的关系与学业成绩之间存在显著正相关。除性别和父亲职业外，所有社会人口学特征与父母关系之间均无显著关系。本研究发现父母关系与儿童学业成绩之间存在统计学上的显著关系。因此，应该将父母对父母关系的认识作为提高学业成绩的一部分。
