Description
Introduction Children grow up in several environments. Home, school, and community are the setting for social and intellectual experiences from which they acquire and develop the skills, attitudes and attachments which characterize them as individuals and shape their choice and performance of adult roles (Morrison and McIntyre, 1973). During childhood and adolescence most of the social influences upon individual can be categorized as being associated either with home or with school environments. In the early years the family is the most potent source of influence, but once children have entered school, new opportunities are created for adults, and for peers and older pupils to influence individual development. It is well known fact that most of those who become successful in life have come from homes where parental attitudes towards them were favourable and where a wholesome relationship existing between parents and children produces happy and friendly children who are constructive and affectionate members of the group. By contrast, those who are unsuccessful in life usually come from homes where the parent-child relationship is unfavorable.
