Summary/Abstract: Family is an institution where the primary point of reference is the manner or pattern of behavior. It is also a continuous process of creation and perpetuation of patterns of behavior are responsible for the implementation of a way of life of individuals. One of the frequent conflicts of classification is the division because of their form, rational or irrational conflicts, antagonistic – non-antagonistic, explicit – implicit,organized – unorganized. The conflict may relate to the values that are common to the parties, or different. From the perspective of the family, the most important is the role of conflict of interest, although it added that this is not the only motive of disputes. Due to the effect that the emergence and development of the conflict has on the functioning of the family, there are two types: constructive and destructive conflict. It should be strongly emphasized that there is no such family in which there is no conflict. Of all the actions taken to reduce the amount of conflict and limit the negative effects of the most important is to educate parents about their own parental role. Knowing and adequate understanding of the role that should play to the child’s parents, is associated with a sense of responsibility for learning and healthy development of the child, as defined relationship to the child’s parents, understanding their needs, aspirations and ambitions. The size and nature of the occurrence of conflicts in the family influenced by a variety of factors are mutually conditioning. This situation forces us to take practical measures and solutions.
