A quantitative method approach was used and survey research design was followed. The population of the study was three colleges students located in district Kech. Random sampling procedure was adopted for selecting sample and the simple size of the study was 176.

The study determines that parent provides most of their children’s school need (textbook, school bag and shoes) and they hardly get time to study at home because of their long hours of school work at home. The majority parents are educated, always check their school notebook and manage time to do their assignments at home.
