INTRODUCTION
Parents are the first and lifelong teachers and guides of every child. Parents are children’s
primary advocates and their life long security. The principal and continuing task of parent’s in each
generation is prepare children to the next generation for the physical, economic and psycho-social
situation in which those children must survive and thrive. Parenthood is the final common pathway to
childhood oversight and care giving, development and stature, adjustment and success. Parenting has its
own intrinsic pleasures, privileges and profits. Parents can find interest and can derive considerable and
continuing pleasure in their relationships and activities with their children. Parent’s character, dedication,
education, creativity, special concern and responsibility are the major factors of child development.
The first and foremost duty of parents is to look after their children in the best possible way to take
interest in their welfare and to see their progress. Successful parenting entails both effective components -
in terms of commitment, empathy and positive regard for children.

Life skills are essentially those abilities that help promote mental well - being and competence in
young people as they face the realities of life. In short, it empowers young people to take positive action to
protect themselves and to promote health and positive social relationship. Life skills enable children and
young people to translate knowledge and values into real action. Life skills help to interact with different
people in various circumstances. This entails critical understanding of situations so that an appropriate
response can be made which will lead to a positive outcome.
Education is a much exploited word in the 21st century. It comes in packages and takes various
names but the undeniable fact in India is that it has become one-dimensional and marks-oriented. With
easier access to information through the internet, tremendous social connectivity through global social
networking sites and growing international migrations for better study and jobs, life has become more
complicated to live in, learn and grow for children. Academic success is mandatory to survive as the job
market is increasingly competitive and skill-oriented. An education which demands marks and guarantees
a ticket to good colleges in the neighborhood falls short in catering to the social, mental and physical
needs of a child. On the whole, it has become difficult to be a school-going child and parental
responsibility for the child’s overall growth and wellbeing has become manifold.
There is a growing emphasis on the importance of parent’s influence for successful, if improving
the Life Skills of the students. In the modern technological advancement, we know that there is a lack of
emphasis placed on parent’s influence of adolescence. It is also possible that Life Skills of students may
influence by their parents. Efficient parent’s influence students may have good life skills behaviors.
Students are the pillars of future nations. Thus, need to study the parent’s influence because moral values
make individual to become a good citizen of our country.

Parents are children’s primary advocates and their life long security. The principal and continuing task of parent’s in each generation is prepare children to the next generation for the physical, economic and psycho-social situation in which those children must survive and thrive. Parenthood is the final common pathway to childhood oversight and care giving, development and stature, adjustment and success. Parenting has its own intrinsic pleasures, privileges and profits. Parents can find interest and can derive considerable and continuing pleasure in their relationships and activities with their children. Parent’s character, dedication, education, creativity, special concern and responsibility are the major factors of child development. The first and foremost duty of parents is to look after their children in the best possible way to take interest in their welfare and to see their progress. Successful parenting entails both effective components - in terms of commitment, empathy and positive regard for children.
  • 2. International Journal of Teacher Educational Research (IJTER) Vol.4 No.8 August, 2015 ISSN: 2319-4642 www.ijter.com A study on the relationship between Parental influence and Life Skills among High School Students 13 Life skills are essentially those abilities that help promote mental well - being and competence in young people as they face the realities of life. In short, it empowers young people to take positive action to protect themselves and to promote health and positive social relationship. Life skills enable children and young people to translate knowledge and values into real action. Life skills help to interact with different people in various circumstances. This entails critical understanding of situations so that an appropriate response can be made which will lead to a positive outcome. Education is a much exploited word in the 21st century. It comes in packages and takes various names but the undeniable fact in India is that it has become one-dimensional and marks-oriented. With easier access to information through the internet, tremendous social connectivity through global social networking sites and growing international migrations for better study and jobs, life has become more complicated to live in, learn and grow for children. Academic success is mandatory to survive as the job market is increasingly competitive and skill-oriented. An education which demands marks and guarantees a ticket to good colleges in the neighborhood falls short in catering to the social, mental and physical needs of a child. On the whole, it has become difficult to be a school-going child and parental responsibility for the child’s overall growth and wellbeing has become manifold. There is a growing emphasis on the importance of parent’s influence for successful, if improving the Life Skills of the students. In the modern technological advancement, we know that there is a lack of emphasis placed on parent’s influence of adolescence. It is also possible that Life Skills of students may influence by their parents. Efficient parent’s influence students may have good life skills behaviors. Students are the pillars of future nations. Thus, need to study the parent’s influence because moral values make individual to become a good citizen of our country. OBJECTIVES 1.

To find out, whether there is a significant difference among high school students in terms of selected independent variables in their Parental Influence and Life Skills.
