Dear Parent or Guardian

We would like to ask you to contribute your opinions on parenting as part of our research.

Your participation is completely voluntary and does not affect your decision for your child to participate in this study.

Should you be willing to participate please attach this short questionnaire to your son or daughter's Parental Consent Form and return to Tytherington High School.

Thank you for your consideration.
