As part of developing a parenting skill development programme, 60 couples were interviewed. The parents were selected randomly from a school in Bangalore city. Their 60 adolescents were interviewed using Parent Bonding Instrument (brief current) (Klimids 1992) to understand what they perceive about their parents' parental behaviors. The results show a trend that mothers being more controlling and fathers giving more freedom. The study throws light on the needs of having similar studies done with larger samples which will help in working for strengthening parent adolescent bond.
