PREVENTING VIOLENCE IN MODERN FAMILIES

Summary/Abstract: Modern family was created as a result of social changes, which reflected on its functions as well. Family is a unique social group - "organization", that encourages the development of the entire personality, providing conditions for meeting biological, psychological, social and educational needs. Therefore, the specifics of family are: birth, development, communication, emotions, closeness, etc. We cannot choose our family; we rather get it by birth and it remains significant for life. Man is born, lives and ends his life in it. In the family, the relations of parents towards children and children towards parents are important. Having in mind modern living conditions, domestic violence is becoming more frequent and socially significant. Immense changes in social relations, rapid development of science, technology and digitalization, the life style of the youth and adults contribute to this. This accelerates the aggression and violence between the two parents, and even between parents and children. Since family upbringing relies on children identifying themselves with their parents and parents with their children, parents should act as positive role models. It is also important that parents and children participate in joint activities, to honestly discuss individual and family problems, to seek the help of experts (pedagogue, psychologist, doctor, social worker) in a timely manner. Respecting all this, the help and support of the society, that is, the state, educational institutions, recognized experts and practical experts educators should be acknowledged and accepted.
