This study examines the relationship between life skills, parent-child relationships, and school environment among adolescents in the Nainital district. Life skills, critical for adolescent development, are influenced by supportive parenting practices and conducive school environments. Using a descriptive survey method, the research sampled 800 adolescents through simple random sampling. Data were collected using standardized tools, including the parent-child relationship scale, school environment inventory, and a life skills assessment questionnaire developed by the investigator; the reliability of LSAQ is 0.80. Findings revealed significant correlations between adolescents' life skills and specific dimensions of father-child and mother-child relationships. Positive parenting traits such as protecting, loving, symbolic, and object reward were positively associated with life skills, while negative traits like neglect and punishment showed adverse impacts. The study underscores the pivotal roles of family and school in fostering critical life skills, contributing to adolescent well-being and resilience.
