Data will be obtained through a written questionnaire to determine the type of parenting style of parents or caregivers.

The collected data will be saved and tabulated on computer and finally statistically analysed.

There are four types of parenting styles :authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and neglecting. Each parent or caregiver will be asked to fill a questionnaire which includes multiple behavior and actions exhibited by the parents and they will do rating for each item how often they exhibit this behavior and accordingly will determine which parenting style they belong to.

There are five scales or ratings :

1. Never
2. Once in a While
3. About Half the Time
4. Very Often
5. Always
