It becomes more challenging for every Student to achieve their educational goals at home and for their Parents to provide proper Parental guidance in the new normal set-up. 

The COVID–19 Pandemic is today's most prominent issue that produced a new world of challenges. It truly affects the living conditions of our society, specifically the family. Many Parents are said to be incapable of teaching their kids complex lessons because most of them are not allowed to attend school. Most families don’t have an advanced gadget to experience distance learning more easily. Many students encountered problems, specifically in Parental involvement, home issues, time management and financial matters. The presence of Parents is really important in this time of pandemic to guide and influence their children to strive harder today. Time goes by. Parents and students may encounter some difficulties at home, like unstable financial sources. Once children grow up, the expenses also rise or increase. But how will they possess their knowledge and skills during this Pandemic? 

Parents who were involved in their child’s education can witness their progress. They are always anxious about what is best to provide for their children. Good communication between parents and teachers also helps improve student’s performance. But then, parents may communicate with the teacher through text messaging or any other online platforms when face-to-face is not allowed by the level of the community is under quarantine. This study was conducted to enlighten everyone about the pandemic's effects and realize how hard it is to strive for Academic Performance at home with the help of the Parent-Student approach in the middle of this Pandemic. It is very hard to stand and fight alone. Parents should take the lead on stabilising the students and impart the necessary learning. These studies guide those students and Parents on how they will face this new normal education. The researchers employed the Descriptive Method of Research. 

Results of this study showed that Parents of Students were evaluated as “GOOD” in terms of financial matters, moral support and academic performance based on the personal answers of the respondents. This pandemic caused several problems the students encountered between their parents' relationship and interactions. Most parents are truly setting up restrictions, especially during this pandemic. This parenting style is the Authoritative Parenting Style used to raise the students to help them be motivated to shape their learning process despite this pandemic.

The Parent should provide realistic expectations and restrictions for the student’s development. It may help the students acquire good academic performance, especially in this pandemic. A strong relationship between the school, Teachers, Parents and Students is needed to obtain a positive outcome.
