Parent child relationship and intellectual performance of rural pre adolescents of Ludhiana district

Author(s): Dr. Meenakshi Tripathi
Abstract:
This paper explores the complex relationship between intellectual performance and the parent-child dynamic, emphasizing the influence of familial interactions, emotional bonds, and parental involvement on cognitive development. Intellectual performance, encompassing skills such as problem-solving, reasoning, and academic achievement, is shaped not only by innate abilities but also by environmental factors, particularly the nature of the parent-child relationship. Theoretical frameworks like Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory and Baumrind’s parenting styles provide a basis for understanding how different parenting approaches impact intellectual growth. Authoritative parenting, characterized by a balance of warmth and structure, is shown to foster optimal cognitive outcomes, while permissive and uninvolved styles tend to result in poorer performance. Parental involvement in education, alongside socio-economic status, further shapes intellectual development by determining access to resources and support. Additionally, secure emotional attachment enhances cognitive functioning by encouraging intellectual exploration and resilience. The findings underscore the importance of nurturing and intellectually stimulating environments in fostering children’s cognitive and academic success, with implications for educators and policymakers.
