Peculiarities of Parent-child Relationships in Complete and Incomplete Families

Main problem: at the current stage of social development, the role of the family is
significantly increasing. Family well-being affects both the level of social welfare and the
psychological environment in which children are brought up. In psychological studies of family life,
special attention is paid to issues of interpersonal relationships, especially between parents and
children at preschool age. It is during this period that the development of relations between the child
and parents, their connection becomes more important and significant, when there is a restructuring
and strengthening of intra-family relations. This is caused not only by age characteristics, but also by
modern social processes. The complication of relations between parents and children at preschool age
requires special attention to the search for appropriate psychological and pedagogical methods of
managing this process.
Purpose: substantiation of identification of features of parent-child relationships in complete
and incomplete families.
Methods: method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete, method of transformation of
concrete images of objects based on their abstract essence, speculative language of schematic images
of thought.
Results and their significance: in relation to life and the world of activity, a person's personal
potential is manifested in actions in the positions of «individual», «student» and «subject», and the
formation of personality begins with the family. Certainty of thinking is given by the use of vectors of
movement in the logic of descent from the concrete to the abstract, ascent from the abstract to the
concrete, as well as in their combination.
