Abstract: Carol Ryff (1988) proposed well being model with six components -Self acceptance, Purpose in life, Personal growth, Positive relation with others, Environmental mastery, Autonomy. Parenting style is a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents use in their child rearing which influences psychological well being of adolescents. The most consistent predictor of adolescent mental health and well being is the quality of relationship adolescents have with their parents (Resnic et al., 1997). Problems in parenting arise due to lack of skills, so parents can be trained in parenting (life skills training)..........
