Abstract

In present study an attempt has been made to investigate the role of mothers (working and non- working) in child's schooling. The sample was selected purposively which included 50 mothers (25 working and 25 non- working) and of seventh class students studying in public school of Palwal city in Haryana. An interview schedule was prepared by the investigator to interview the mothers. The result indicates that working mothers teach their children lesser due to the dearth of time but this doesn't mean that they are lagging behind than non-working mothers. 87% of working mothers are not aware about the weakness regarding academic performance of their children but 13% of working mothers have knowledge in this regard. 88% of non- working mothers are aware about the strong points of their children. 12% of non- working mothers are not aware about their children's strong points.
