The study investigated the determinants of parenting stress and practices in the mothers of children with ADHD in relation to the behavioral problems in children. Sixty children with ADHD of 4-12 years were taken from schools and child psychiatry units of government and private hospitals in Lahore. Children's diagnosis for ADHD was confirmed through DSM-IV TR criteria and Conners' Rating Scale (1997). Mothers of these children rated behavioral problems of children on Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach & Edelbrock, 1991). To measure stress and parenting practices, Parenting Stress Index (Abidin, 1995) and Parent Questionnaire (Doyle & McCarthy, 2002) were translated in Urdu which showed high reliability (a =.87 &a=.73). The results suggested significant positive correlation between child behavioral problems, maternal stress and parenting practices. Parenting stress and child behavioral problems emerged as strong predictors of harsh/physical discipline which was negatively correlated with appropriate and consistent discipline in mothers. Child's behavior was the strong predictor of maternal stress. The results have been discussed in specific social context of Pakistan. Implications targeted the need of the intervention programs for children with ADHD and their mothers.
