Sunita, Sheela Sangwan and Poonam Malik
The children's social and physical development is being adversely affected by the "behavior problems". From childhood to adulthood, a person's life trajectory is greatly influenced by their interactions with their family. The main factor influencing reception is a person's personality traits. In addition to inheriting some familial potential, the child's views, attitudes, goals, and overt behavior throughout his formative years are all reflections of the influences from his upbringing. This study looks at how behavioral disorders are viewed by moms and children in connection to the family environment. The study was conducted in Haryana state. A sample of 480 respondents was included in the study, i.e., 240 children and 240 mothers. A total of 240 children in the age group of 11–17 years residing in the rural and urban areas of Haryana state and their mothers (240) were interviewed with the help of Goodman’s Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (2000) and Shah’s Family Climate Scale (2006). Pearson correlation coefficients were computed to examine the inter-correlation between family environment and behavioral disorders. The findings show a strong correlation between behavioral disorders and the family environment. The study's findings recommend intervention programs meant to improve children's home environments.
