Introduction Adjustment is the process by which the living organisms which maintains balance between its need and circumstances that influence the satisfaction of these needs. Arkoff(1968) defines,” Adjustment is the interaction between a person and his environment.” The above consideration indicates that one of the factors which influence the adjustment of the child is the environment in which he lives. Every child is born in a family at a particular place and time. His upbringing also takes place in a specific environment. The environment is either controlled or uncontrolled. Both types of environments exert their influence upon the growing child in different ways. Adjustment among the children is affected by several factors like home environment, school environment, playing environment, parenting style, child rearing practices etc. Play is the natural need of a child.
