Abstract: Socialization has been carried out due to the agency of the parents (Schaffer, 1996), it is a process that molds a child into the culture of its group thereby making the child an accepted member of the society (Dunham, 1957). Ongoing changes in terms of demographic and social factors in India are acting as a catalyst for significantly increasing variation in the multiplicity of Indian families and child-rearing practices (Sahithya, Manohari, & Vijaya, 2019). Ongoing changes in terms of demographic and social factors in India are acting as a catalyst for significantly increasing variation in the multiplicity of Indian families and child-rearing practices (Sahithya, Manohari, & Vijaya, 2019). In traditional conventional Indian family fathers are usually portrayed as distant and aloof whereas mothers take the role of a nurturant concerning parenting. Parental practices are subjected to change with change in the social and demographic location of a family.
