ROLE OF PARENTS:
Besides the parents own attitudes ,
their socio economic status , the
relationship between them ,
environment, sex of the child , and
placing and position of the child in
the family also have an important
role.
If the parents adopt a mature
attitude and try to understand the
situation and the needs of the child
they can help to solve many
emotional conflicts.
ROLE OF SIBLINGS:
Jealousy and sibling rivalry may
become important problems when
there are many children in the
family.
ROLE OF GRANDPARENTS :
Grandparents can be of great help in
looking after the child and in
providing the love and affection
which working parents sometimes
may not be able to offer.
Disharmony between parents and
grandparents can sometimes
precipitate emotional problems.
Grandparents will have a better
capacity to instill good habits in
children than baby sitters.
They therefore play a very
important role in the sound
upbringing of children.
