Aim:
The Parental-Caregivers Perceptions Questionnaire (P-CPQ) is designed to assess how parents or caregivers perceive the impact of children's oral health on their quality of life. The P-CPQ is particularly useful for evaluating oral health-related quality of life in patients who are unable to provide firsthand information about their oral health, such as many autistic individuals with communication impairments or varying degrees of intellectual development.
Methods:
The original P-CPQ consists of 31 questions divided into four domains, assessing oral symptoms, functional limitations, emotional well-being, and social well-being. The questionnaire was translated from English to Italian and administered to parents and caregivers of children aged 6 to 14 years, recruited from the University of Padua Dental Clinic. The final section of the questionnaire focused on participants' comprehension of the questionnaire, specifically evaluating its clarity, accuracy, and difficulty.
Conclusion:
The positive feedback registered in the comprehension part of the questionnaire, certified the good quality of the Italian translation and confirms the usefulness of the questionnaire in assessing oral health-related quality of life in paediatric patients.

Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
