CHAPTER I
Although affected by society and peers, children are more influenced by the
family. The influence of the family on the child and its roles in the creativity,
cultural, social, and moral aspects is very important. Correct and balanced
relationship between parents and their children is one of the factors influencing
both their physical and mental health. Research has shown that interaction
between children and parents and how parents communicate with children are
considered to be the most important and fundamental factors among the various

ability to think and reason and it can be used to establish students who share a

centuries, human societies have tended to assign different feelings and thoughts

When a parent is permissive, they look at their child as equal rather than

The undersigned are currently conducting a study “Parenting Style: Its
effect on the Academic Performance on the Grade Six Learners.” This
undertaking is one of the requirements for the completion for the degree
bachelor of Elementary Education, major in Science and Health.
The researchers of this study are 4 th year students taking up Bachelor in
Elementary Education major in Science and Health. We would like to ask
permission to get their first grading grade in Science and give the
questionnaires to grade six (6) pupils who will be the respondents of the
research.
In connection with this, we would like to request your approval to allow
us to schedule the distribution of the questionnaires. Your help is at most
valued for the purpose of our study. Hence, we humbly seek your approval.
Rest assured that all their answers and grade will be kept confidential in
accordance with the “Ethics of Research”.
Your consideration is a great help in the completion of this study.
