Many Indians do not feel the need of learning about child psychology and many rural ones are unaware that such concept exists. Parenting helps in shaping a child’s character. Educated Indians (not all) access resources for child up bringing like books, websites, support group, social media whereas poor-uneducated mothers are unable to comprehend as well as follow the expert advices. Friends and family irrespective of income and education level, may lack effective child upbringing knowledge. Children (future workforce) need to learn the importance of parenting so that they may implement good practices on their next generation. The findings of this study involve toddlers to college level children, parents and grandparents. Thus, applicable to the entire education system. Alongside, parent-teacher meetings in educational institutions for discussing child performance, there must be parent performance discussions too and counselling thereafter. Government should reframe its educational schemes to develop a better workforce for India.
