Family values taken from children

Abstract

The transmission of values in the family is usually aimed at the child. However, children may also influence parents’ values, which results from the significance of interactions in the axiological education in the family. These interactions provide a basis for the mutual transmission of communication and enable the child to influence the hierarchy of its parents’ values. This influence may be passive or active, it may involve differentiation of values or reciprocal strengthening. It may also be counter-influence. The description of these areas emphasises the significance of the parental relationship in the family and the possibility to modify it. At the same time, it highlights the right approach to the child’s role in the axiological changes in the family.
