Parent-Child Relationship Assessment
Some days your child runs to you with every story; other days every request turns into a standoff. This free 10-question parent-child relationship assessment, adapted from the Child-Parent Relationship Scale (Pianta, 1992), helps you look at two things that shape your bond: how close you feel, and how much conflict there is between you.
Rate 10 statements from "Definitely does not apply" to "Definitely applies", get your score out of 50 immediately, and see guidance on where your relationship is strong and where it may need support. Takes about 3 minutes. Your responses are private. This is a reflective self-assessment, not a diagnosis.

What does the score measure?
Two sides of your relationship: closeness (warmth, trust and open communication) and conflict (anger, struggle and strain). A higher score out of 50 means more closeness and less conflict.
What age of child is this for?
It works best for children from preschool to early teens, when day-to-day interactions with a parent shape the relationship most. Answer for one child at a time.
What can I do if my score is low?
A lower score is not a judgement of you as a parent; it shows where things feel strained right now. Your results page suggests next steps, and you can book a free intro consultation with a Crink therapist who works with families.
