Abstract

Parenting is considered as important factor for child’s development and well being. It is mother who is considered responsible for developing positive attitude, behavior and inculcating positive abilities in their children. This helps the children to have an understanding of right and wrong and to become good and successful human beings. Working women thus have a tough task of professional obligation along with taking care and nurturing their children from early age to adolescent. Although they are able to fulfill financial needs of their children but, still they are not able to give as much time and care as given by non-working mothers 4 .A quantitative evaluative research approach with Non experimental survey research
