Child rearing practices plays an important role in the development of child. Working and non-working mothers rear their child in different way. So, working, and non-working mothers influencing various aspects of a child’s development. Working mothers may rely more on children and may have less time for focused interactions, while non- working mothers may have more opportunities for direct involvement in their child’s daily routine and education. Child – rearing practices are investigated in families in which the mother is employed and comparable families in which the mother is not employed. When mothers’ motivations and education are considered along with status, associations with child- rearing appear. Mothers who prefer to work but out of a sense of duty do not work report the most problems in child rearing. Children are under firmer control and are given more responsibilities by working mothers then by non-working mothers in groups with high school training. The purpose of the study is to know about child rearing practices of working and non-working mothers. The invigilators want to know how we rear the child for overall development of the child.
