Accordingly, the major finding of the study implied that, parents were good enough in relationship with their children and assisting their children in some activities however there were challenges that affect students’ self–esteem due to parental inefficient activities such as, lack of free discussion, spending inadequate time, lack of help in school activities, lack of awareness creation about good and bad behaviors as well as improper punishments. These in the eyes of the researcher are caused basically due to parents-students perception variation. Based on these the study recommended some of the possible measures to be taken to reduce the challenges. Parents should give attention not only to the outcomes their children achieve but also to the process and steps they pass through to make it up and analyze the way they perceive things.
