Diagnostic tools: “Parents composition”, “Choice in action”, “Stair”, “Finish a story”, a conversation on three clusters of unfinished sentences. The results of the empirical study revealed a predominance of non-constructive child-parent interaction in the respondents’ families. The analysis of a child’s position in a group of an education institution generally revealed the existence of a favourable climate in the given subsystem of relations. Preferences in one or another type of interactions are connected with the self-assessment, a position in a group and a level of awareness of ethical norms and values.
