In the realm of contemporary education, the intricate relationship between parental pressure and the exacerbation of academic anxiety among children has emerged as a significant concern. This exploration delves into the multifaceted interplay between parental expectations, academic pressures, and the ensuing anxiety experienced by students within the context of modern education. For shaping the balanced personality development of the child, parental care is important. Parents are the first teachers of the child and they have to shape the harmonious development of the child. Parents have to make the devotion of time, money and care for the sake of the child. Initially the child considers his parents as a role model for accommodating his behavioural traits in the family. But unfortunately, we have observed the excessive and incompetent involvement of the parental towards education of their children. The excessive parental involvement without understanding the child psychology is referred as parental pressure. In the contemporary Indian education system due to tremendous increase of competition, parental pressure is more gripping day by day. The over expectations of the parents on their children has been seen in Indian society. Keeping in view, the present study was carried to explore the role of parental pressure in facilitating the academic anxiety among school going children. The review based on both primary and secondary data was collected to draw the inferences of the study. The results of the study reveal that parental pressure is facilitating the academic anxiety among school going children.
