The results were analyzed in a way to organize and sort the data into patterns, categories and the basic outline of the unit.

The results showed that mothers’ experience of violence in children was an action they gave to their children as they thought that their children had been doing bad things or naughty and disobey. Mothers did the forms of violence which they thought the actions were accepted such as as hitting, pinching, and yelling or scolding a child.
