It was revealed that majority of both working parents were preparing child's food while in single working parents were setting clear and desirable explanation about right and wrong doings. The lowest response gathered from two groups of respondents were laughing at the child's mistakes and ignoring the child's misbehavior. Regarding the usual behaviors demonstrated by the toddler children, the two groups of respondents prceived that majority of children can comprehend easily on what the parents are saying and that they become uneasy, apprehensive or worried when seperated from parents.
