Culture is defined that a way of life of a group of people. They accept their behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols as well as parenting practices without thinking about them and passed it along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next.  Parents will influence their children through specific practices which will affect children outcomes. So that, there is overall approach that parents take to guide, control and socialize their children. Besides that, different culture also would bring different outcome of children.

We have chosen Malaysia because Malaysia is a multicultural society, with Malays, Chinese, Indians and other race living side by side. Malaysia is a very unique country in the sense of its culture. People of different culture and backgrounds will bring different types of parenting practices. Although there are different types of parenting practices, the parents just want to raise a calm, happy and thriving family.
