Summary/Abstract: The study explores parental ideas about the child and their communicative development within a cultural framework. Based on parental interviews, it applies a mixed approach combining frequency analysis and qualitative thematic coding. Parents most often describe observable communication difficulties without causal interpretation, frequently expressing uncertainty (“I don’t know”) or socially influenced explanations. The dominant themes include social comparison, emotional–psychological attributions, and growing references to the digital environment, while biomedical explanations remain peripheral. These patterns reflect a cultural tension between traditional expectations and contemporary influences that shape parental anxiety and dependence on expert evaluation. The paper proposes a culturally sensitive model for family counseling in cases of communicative disorders and outlines implications for interdisciplinary practice.
