Childhood is considered as a mixture of simplicity, innocence, happiness, fun, imagination, and wonder. It is considered as a time of playing, learning, socializing, exploring, and worrying in a world without much adult interference. Childhood is full of fun and adventure which we often miss as we grow older. It’s an exciting time when we learn and discover new things about ourselves and the world around us. Furthermore, it’s the golden period of life which we cherish and often look back at with a smile. So, we can conclude that an individual’s experiences during his /her childhood plays a very important role in shaping his/her adulthood (lifestyle, personality). This study seeks to understand whether adverse childhood experiences and perceived parenting styles are linked with each other. The tools used for assessment were the Adverse Childhood Questionnaire (ACE) and Perceived Parenting Styles Scale (PPSS). The study was conducted on 30 drug abusers. The inferential statistics utilized to analyze the data was Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The study revealed that, there is no significant relationship between adverse childhood experience and perceived parenting style.Metrics
