them struggle to maintain it because of many reasons. They need to leave their house to work for

hours to provide while learners spend most of their time in schooling sleeping and less time for

bonding with their parents. This is a common scenario that happens to almost every family and

the only time they get together is during breakfast or before and after dinner, therefore it is a

challenge to the parents how they will communicate and help learners to their academic

performace.

achievements of the learner from secondary school in Mogasidhu-Somalia. The researcher also

wants to find out if the parents have good or bad relationship with their learner and what its effect
