Previous studies have revealed that the perceived quality of the parent-child relationship is essential for both physical health and psychological well-being. However, most studies have treated the perceived quality of this relationship as an independent variable. In this study, we considered it a dependent variable and examined the role of parents' education and parent-child literacy activities on children's perceived quality of the parent-child relationship. One hundred and eighty-six Chinese primary school students and their parents from low socioeconomic backgrounds participated in this study. Parents' educational level and the parent-child literacy activity status were assessed based on parents' reports, whereas parent-child relationships were assessed based on children's reports. Results showed that parents' educational level positively correlated with the frequency of parent-child literacy activities and children's perceptions of the quality of the parent-child relationship. There was also a significant positive correlation between the frequency of parent-child literacy activities and children's perceptions of the quality of the parent-child relationship. Further analyses showed that the frequency of parent-child literacy activities mediated the connection between parents' educational level and children's perceived quality of the parent-child relationship. These results suggest that boosting the frequency of parent-child literacy activities may be a useful strategy for facilitating the parent-child relationship.
