ABSTRACT

Over the years, the parental role or the process of parenting has transformed reflective in the way parents view and understand their children. Conversely, the way children understand their parents is also very crucial in exalting the rights of children and empowering their agency. An instrument was specially constructed to compare children’s understanding of their mothers with factual information provided by their mother. The research instrument accounted for six aspects of their mother’s life viz. personal information, health knowledge, likes and dislikes, emotion related, and achievements and aspirations. Data was collected from 162 pairs of mothers and children and was analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. It was inferred that children’s understanding of their mothers was high only on obvious aspects related to them compared to other aspects. The quantitative index provided an insight into the present-day mother child bonding along with its implication for the future geriatric population.
