Abstract
This paper speaks about the power of affective bond between teachers and children at school. Gathered majorly through secondary data, this paper brings together past researches, to understand teacher-child relationship trajectories at school. A large body of educational researches advocates the importance of positive and supportive teacher-child relationships at school. Considering a relationship cannot prove to be positive and supportive without ‘affection' as a foundational base, there seems to be an urgent need to explore teacher-child relationship for this element, at school. A positive teacher-child relationship is important to build healthy and happy classrooms. The paper thus is a brief account of various empirical researches and theoretical discussions in this field.
