Child's Personality and Methods of Familial Education

Abstract

Psychologists remark that there are critical and sensitive periods in child's growth through which patterns of behaviour can be taught. During these periods, there are certain environmental interactions to make the child grow naturally; at the beginning of the interaction, there might be a large number of responses to his environment. What remains of the responses should be strengthened and what vanishes should not. In his early stages, the child, like the elders, may suffer from psychological disorders and behavioural and emotional deviations. The child's physical, emotional, and psychological growth is a continuous, intensifying process influenced by factors of physical environment and social family. (Al-Adhmawi, 1988, 251) The problem of the research is related to the family because it is the first social institution and the first constructor to the child's personality and his behaviour in society
