Abstract
Compared to 35 mothers of normal achievers, 35 mothers of learning disabled children exhibited a pattern of more controlling, but less hostile child rearing attitudes on the Parental Attitude Research Instrument (PARI). No correlation was found between strict control and hostility for mothers of the learning disabled children suggesting they may perceive a need for providing the structure needed for their children's typically disorganized functioning, but want it to be free of hostile feelings. This pattern, which, appears to be independent of both the age and sex of the learning disabled child, argues favorably for mothers assuming a parent-as-teacher role.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
