Every day we make countless adjustments, most of them apparently insignificant and many of them carried out more or less automatically, with no particular thought and often without awareness. In adjusting to life situations, the individual is required to harmonize his desires with reality. Lackof harmony between the individual and his environment leads to disintegration of personality and subsequent maladjustment. Concept of Adjustment Adjustment is the process of getting along with one’s own self and with others. It is the process by which a person varies his behavior to produce a more harmonious relationship between himself and his environment .It’s aim is to gratify the needs by reducing frustrations and tensions to the lowest minimum. Whenever a child is restless, aggressive or impudent, he is making an adjustment to life. When his need is satisfied, he becomes well adjusted. Children who have developed habits of success through experiences in problem situations and who possess an attitude of confidence in self, and who have willingness to co-ordinate their activities with those of others find no difficulty in maintaining a satisfactory level of adjustment. Concept of Home Adjustment The one social institution which influences an individual more is his home. The adjustment which is established by the individual in his home is called home adjustment. Home adjustment has been conceptualized as the quality of human interactions, from the child’s point of view. It includes those aspects which foster growth and development, such as family, trust and confidence, sharing of ideas, making decisions, parental approval, parental encouragement, support, guidance, affection and approval of peer activities. The most desirable state of adjustment is one in which the individual is perfectly happy and satisfied with all aspects of his life at home .Home itself is a complex unit. The assessment of its psycho-social environment is not an easy matter. International Journal of Applied Research 2022; 8(11): 112-115
