Introduction: Relationships with parents continue to play a crucial role in shaping children‟s social, emotional, personal and cognitive development into middle childhood and adolescence (Lamb & Lewis, 2005). The quality of both mother- and father-child interaction remains the most reliable predictor of individual differences in psychological, social, and cognitive adjustment in infancy, as well as in later childhood (Lamb & Lewis, 2005; Thompson, 2006).The day-to-day interactions between infants and young children and their parents help drive their emotional, physical, and intellectual development. When parents are sensitive and responsive to children‟s cues, they contribute to the coordinated back and forth of communication between parent and child. These interactions help children develop a sense of self (Tronick & Beeghly, 2011), and model various emotional expressions as well as emotional regulation skills (e.g. self-calming and self-control skills). Girl child education becomes pertinent for the attainment of national development. The Girl child also needs to be educated to acquire knowledge and skills needed to advance her statusknowledge for social interaction, self improvement and status advancement. The girl-child education also prepares her to face the reality in the society and teaches her to be a good wife Copyright © 2017, Scholarly Research Journal for Interdisciplinary Studies
