Summary/Abstract: Family life crisis and depreciation of values related to that often leads to abnormal child’s development. In such familial milieu child is not able to experience support, and the helping activities related to specific difficulties in learning occur occasionally or not at all. What can prevent it is attributing family with the communitarian character based on love, kindness, and solidarity in relations and actions which are simultaneously generating the developmental progression of members. It expresses through personal relations of members of this structure, and furthermore through multi directional help provided on various dimensions. Such family, open for contradictions which function in its individual and social life, make dialectica lchoices in the name of creating positive identity of a child. Confused about his “difference” family supports and encourages him to independence and to cope with crisis, so he could gain cohesion (unity) instead, which is the source of any causality. The tutoring method which occurs as a result of this kind of family model, while concentrating educational activities on child enables the revelation of potentiality, which overcome difficulties accompanying the individual path of cognitive explorations. Favorable developmental conditions created by parents it is not only their inalienable right, but obligation towards child as well. It correspond substantially with his needs, which arise in educational reality, giving meaning to personal and community life.
