Parenting discipline styles and child psychopathology in a sample of Egyptian children with accidental ocular trauma: a case–control study

Proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for ADHD, together with community program that enhances nonviolent discipline techniques, will help in both primary and secondary prevention of ocular trauma.
