The Indian family theatres a significant role in the socialization development of the child and uses personal specific values to fetch up the child. Children who are the carriers of the value certainly have an important role in the family system. Children learn the culture and values within the bosom of a family. It means the children raised by certain specific set of culture are reflection of familial and cultural values. Therefore, socially learned norms and values offer standards which parents usually use to direct their own interaction with their children. As, this interaction or process of socialization process is bidirectional in nature, therefore, parents conveys the socialization messages to their children, but their children vary in their level of acceptance, receptivity, and internalization of these messages. Processes of socialization of child generally do depend upon the beliefs, values, goals held by the parents who are generally are passed from one generation to the next. Philosophers and evolving psychologists are always interested in sympathetic and unscrambling the minutiae of socialization process by which parents'effort to diffuse their standards, goals, skills, and attitudes to their children. Behaviourist and Freudian theory tried to explain in their own way about the process of socialization. But it was in the late sixties, Baumrind work on children which bring about into a paradigm shift in soundingsubsequently the socialization process of children. She gave three parenting typologies: authoritative, authoritarian and permissive. These three parenting styles differ in behaviours, values, and standards which parents expect their children to adopt. The three parenting styles have different consequences on children cognitive and social competence development. Baumrind suggested that authoritative parents are warm and responsive, providing their children with affection and support in their explorations and pursuit of interests.
