I want to thank God most of all. Because without God, I would not be able to do any of this.

Secondly, I would like to acknowledge the love, support and encouragement that my family has given me over the course of Master of Child Psychology. Thank you to my husband Jimmy for being there with unquestioning support and love. Without this I would not have made it.

I also would like to express my appreciation to all my lecturers from UCSI Psychology Department, Kuala Lumpur.

Not to forget the principle, all senior assistances and other related teachers for their assistance in one way or another during my internships.
