As Attention-Defictt/Hyperactivity Disordered children are very energetic and the symptoms of AD/HD are most often present from the age of three, and sometimes last into adult life, the burden of carrying and handling them are more readily felt by their parents. The parents were found to have more stress, less parenting satisfaction, lower self-confidence, less warmth and involvement with their children, used corporal punishment and higher levels of authoritarian parenting styles. Contradicting these finding it was also found that mothers' behavior and attitudes towards their AD/HD children, stress, and disciplinary practices themselves made children more prone to express symptoms like non-responsiveness, over-reaction, behaviour problem etc. which in turn affects the parent-child relationships. The data were collected from 52 child-mother dyads using interview and observation method and were analyzed using content analysts method. It was seen that mothers'attitude towards their AD/HD children cause an increase in the behavioural problems exhibited by themKeywords

Crime has been taking place since time immemorial. The most common definition about "Criminal Behaviour" is that it portrays any behaviour that goes against or violates law, whether the offender is caught or not. Likewise a criminal is an individual who commits an act that violates the strict rules and regulations of the society, thereby harming or not harming another individual, property and so on intentionally or unintentionally. The various causes that lead to a crime to take place are neurological deformities, genetic trait, situational factors, and uncomfortable bad experiences undergone in childhood such as sexual abuse, physical abuse, and emotional abuse and so on. These are nothing but various forms of child abuse that violate a child's right to live a happy life. All the victims may not experience in the same way. It is usually seen that majority of these individuals take along these experiences to their adulthood in a complex manner. Sexual abuse is studied in depth in the present study. This paper attempts to find out whether these nightmare experiences make the victim become an offender himself. On conducting regular semi structured interviews with prisoners housed in various prisons of Kerala, mainly focusing on rape offenders, paedophiles and child abusers the investigators were able to see that most of the offenders had gone through sexual abuse in their childhood, being un-intervened and that had changed their lives drastically. Most of the offenders kept coming back for the same type of offense, time and again. Some psychological factors like rejection sensitivity and attachment patterns are identified as intervening variables. The details are discussed in the paper.Keywords

As learning starts with birth and ends with death, as disability can be expected in any of the minute faculty of human being; while limiting to the academic learning and the types and varieties of learning disabilities explored till now are limited. In the present era,just due to the importance given by the common man to education, the ditferentially-abled performance creates lot of difficulty to certain parents. The present study investigates such parental stress in relation to their parenting behavior styles.

All people have 'behaviours' in order to function in this world aptly. Sometimes it is behaviour that moves us towards our goals and sometimes the behaviour itself may become a problem and interferes with the proper functioning of an individual. The children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder are quite different from normal children both in behavioural as well as learning aspects. As AD/HD children are very energetic and the symptoms of AD/HD are most often present from the age of three, and sometimes last into adult life, the burden of carrying and handling them are more readily felt by the mothers. Mothers of AD/HD children are challenged and frustrated from time to time by the noncompliance and misbehavior of their children which makes them react negatively to such behaviours of their children. They were found to have more stress, less parenting satisfaction, lower self-confidence, less warmth and involvement with their children, used corporal punishment and higher levels of authoritarian parenting styles. These were seen to be more significant than the mothers of non problematic children. It was found that mothers' behaviour and disciplinary practices itself made the child more prone to express symptoms like nonresponsiveness, over-reaction, behaviour problem etc. The paper explores multi-dimensional parenting behaviour and parenting stress of mothers of AD/HD children and tries to see whether there is significant difference in parenting stress amongst the mothers of AD/HD children who adopt non-deviant, fully deviant and partially deviant mothering. Results show that Mothers of AD/HD children adopt positive as well as negative dimensions of parenting behavior, to a great extent and belong to a partially deviant parenting. Mothers of AD/HD children adopt different styles of parenting behavior and it differs significantly in the parenting stress and its sub-factors, which they experience.Keywords
