Behavioral Disorders in Children - Forms and Role of Prevention

Abstract

Promotion of child development is a task of various educational factors
directed at a child, primarily family and educational institutions. This
paper accentuates the child’s family as a permanent, ever-present educational
unit with which the child is most emotionally attached and
which is, as such, the most significant participant in child development,
crucial to its optimum course. The paper emphasizes the role of the
family as a protective factor that ensures the child’s desirable development.
If the child does not receive the support needed for his or her
development in the family, certain undesirable behavioral deviations
in child’s development are likely. It is therefore necessary for the child’s
parents, as his most important educators, to choose engaged parenting
and active upbringing, based on emotionally supportive and structured
educational doing. Such parental practice protects from developing
an undesirable parental education approach, in this work labeled
as parenthood in resistance.
