As for behaviour practices it was clear that 36 % of the mothers meant by the research follow scientific ways to modify the wrong behaviours of their children permanently. 33% of them fellow these ways moderately 31 % rarely follow them. It was found that most of the mothers were highly satisfied with that disorder of their children.
