Before going to discuss about child rearing practices and adjustment of college students, the researcher felt essential to describe something about the child rearing practices and adjustment. The term "child-rearing practices" describes the various ways that parents and other caregivers bring up their kids, including how they handle punishment, love, and tolerance. These behaviors result in differences in parenting styles and are impacted by social contexts, cultural norms, and family values. Whereas, adjustment is the act of modifying one's behavior to attain harmony with oneself, others or the environment in order to preserve the equilibrium between the environment and the individual. Psychology has examined adjustment as both a process and an accomplishment. In order to prepare children to be engaged members of their community, parents teach them social standards, values and behaviors. They offer a warm and caring atmosphere, which is essential for a child's mental health. Parents set expectations and guidelines for their children's behavior, employing a variety of techniques to help them to learn self-control. Whether through official education or unofficial learning opportunities, the parents are essential in supporting a child's intellectual development. The child rearing practices are of many kinds among them in permissive style of child rearing parents tend to be more indulgent and less strict with their kids which can cause them to struggle with self-control. In authoritative child rearing practice parents are not only communicate openly and offer emotional supports but they also establish clear norms and expectations whereas in authoritarian parenting style parents impose restrictions and demand rigid obedience from their children, showing little regard for their needs or feelings. Lastly, in neglectful child rearing practice children may be negatively impacted by their parents due to lack of proper nurturing, care and guidance.
