Family is a social unit, and there is an interconnected and comprehensive
relationship among its members. This relationship differentiates family from the
many other social units. Because parents spend most of their time with their
children, their relationship to the children could have a significant role on
the formation of the behavioral patterns in children. A healthy and dynamic
family is one with human and healthy relationship among its members, especially
among parents and children.
The most capable parents are those who have the needed knowledge and skills to
relate to their children.
To know how to relate to one’s children is necessary for parents. Family is the
most important center, in which the physical and mental needs of the people are
satisfied. Therefore, parents need to make a calm, peaceful, and loving
environment at home. Unfortunately, some parents do not know how to treat their
children and they think that to establish a kind relationship with their
children means to pay excessive attention to them, or to spoil them, in other
words. This will make a lot of problems for parents and even for children
themselves.
