Your idea of cheap may not be shared by your folks. At the same time, there are things that you just can't resist. So, what do you do? Well, if you are financially independent, don't tell your parents how much you spent on shopping. 

Your fashion sensibilities may not match, but be diplomatic when your parents gift you something that seems to be straight out of an 80s' movie. Ask for the bill and exchange it discreetly. When they ask you about the dress, tell them that you loved it and have kept it aside for special occasions. 

The study suggests that interventions aimed at improving parent-child interaction in the early post-natal period may be beneficial to the child's behaviour later on in life. 

Behavioural disorders are the commonest psychological problem affecting children. They are associated with a wide range of problems in adolescence and adult life, including academic failure, delinquency, peer rejection and poor psychiatric and physical health. 

Research suggests that the roots of enduring behavioural problems often extend back into the preschool years. 

Epidemiological studies have identified a number of risk factors for the onset and continuity of behavioural problems. Amongst these, parenting characteristics and patterns of parent-child interaction appear to be particularly important. 

Researchers at the University of Oxford studied 192 families recruited from two maternity units in the UK to see whether there was a link between father-child interactions in the early postnatal period and the child's behaviour.
