and Difficulties Questionnaire to achieve study objectives. An online questionnaire applied as a method of
data collecting on 101 parents (majority of them mothers) and their 4-11 years old children, 58 of them were
males and 43 were females. The finding of the current study reveals that the authoritative parenting style was
