Abstract
Parents have the most important role in the intellectual, physical, emotional, social and academic development of children. Parenting is the process of promoting the development of children from infancy to adulthood. It is a time consuming and effortful task with rewards and challenges. Each child is unique and parents should understand the strengths and vulnerabilities of their children. Every child has basic needs and it is the responsibility of the parent to give them what they need in the proper way. Effective parenting has direct link with academic performance and personality development of children.
