Family is an institution where the primary point of reference is the manner or pattern
of behavior. It is also a continuous process of creation and perpetuation of patterns
of behavior are responsible for the implementation of a way of life of individuals.
One of the frequent conflicts of classification is the division because of their form,
rational or irrational conflicts, antagonistic – non-antagonistic, explicit – implicit,
organized – unorganized. The conflict may relate to the values that are common
to the parties, or different. From the perspective of the family, the most important
is the role of conflict of interest, although it added that this is not the only motive
of disputes. Due to the effect that the emergence and development of the conflict has
on the functioning of the family, there are two types: constructive and destructive
conflict. It should be strongly emphasized that there is no such family in which there
is no conflict. Of all the actions taken to reduce the amount of conflict and limit the
negative effects of the most important is to educate parents about their own parental
role. Knowing and adequate understanding of the role that should play to the child’s
parents, is associated with a sense of responsibility for learning and healthy development
of the child, as defined relationship to the child’s parents, understanding
their needs, aspirations and ambitions. The size and nature of the occurrence of conflicts
in the family influenced by a variety of factors are mutually conditioning. This
situation forces us to take practical measures and solutions.
