Abstract
This study was conducted in order to investigate and to compare the parental expectations held for
Intermediate (grades 4-6) children with those expectations that these same children hold for themselves. The subjects consisted of twenty-seven students and their parents. These participants were asked to complete a fourteen question survey. The survey given to the parents asked them about the expectations that they held for their children under a variety of circumstances. The student survey asked the children about their own expectations concerning the same circumstances. The surveys were then examined and the number of parent-child agreements for each question was tallied and then converted into percentages. The percentage of agreements varied greatly among the questions.
