As such it is part of the stimulus-response mechanism. The study was conducted in Hisar district of Haryana state. Two areas were selected purposively i.e., rural and urban, from urban area Hisar city and from rural area two villages namely Balsmand and Kharia were taken for collection of data. A total of 200 children in three age groups, namely, 3, 4 and 5 years were selected for the study. Academic stimulation was taken as independent variable. Soft skills and social skills were taken as dependent variable.
