ABSTRACT:
Behavior of individual influences other individual also. Parenting behavior and behavior problems are two different measures which have effect on individual’s life. Parenting is a process of raising and educating a child from birth, or before until adulthood. Parenting is what parents do to take care of their children. The fact is, what adults do in their role as parents has changed over the centuries, a function of technological, social, and economic adjustments. But, the goal of parenting has remained essentially the same, to enable children to become competent, caring adults who are able to function well within society (Maccoby, 1992). For any place and any era, attaining the goal is no mean feat. This seemingly innocuous generic prescription requires a plethora of specific parenting actions carried out over a lengthy period of time fitted to a particular child’s needs and executed within the boundaries of the resources and constraints present. The present study has made an attempt to study the effect of parenting behavior on behavior problems of children with autism spectrum disorders.
