The present study was conducted in Hisar District in Haryana state. 50 boys and 50 girls in the age group of 6 to 8 years and their mothers were selected randomly from village Dobhi. Hence, the total sample for the study was 200 (50 boys and 50 girls and 100 mothers). There were two types of variables in the study, i.e. independent and dependent variable. A dependent variable is a variable presumed to be affected by one or more independent variables. Mother-child Interaction was taken as the dependent variable. Inventory was prepared and used.
