In the past decades, the relationship between parenting and children's academic achievement has been studied by a large number of researchers, the results of which showed that cognition, personality, motivation and self-concept played a significant mediating role in the relationship between parenting and academic achievement, indicating that parents influence their children's academic achievements through these psychological factors. Although a great deal of research has been carried out to understand the relationship, the literature on studies more comprehensively examining the relationship and studies of the relationship across different cultures is still lacking hence the need for current researchers to focus on these areas of study so as to increase our understanding of the relationship. Besides, researchers also need to carry out applied reseach studies to promote the application of the results.
