Abstract
The study starts from the overwhelming importance that the family has on the child’s development, as a result of the multitude of functions not found in other social groups, such as: biological function, procreation function, economic, psychoaffective and educational function. Although all parents’ purposeis the harmonious development of children from a cognitive, social and emotional point of view, under the influence of a variety of factors, they manifest educational practices that dose differently care and parental control. Thus, the study considers how parents’ action patterns can influence the social and academic adaptation of young school-age students. In this sense, the research sample is made of 18 primary school students whose school period was followed throughout the fundamental acquisition cycle.
Highlights
The following objectives were taken into account: identifying the directions of orientation of the educational practices that the parents manifest in relation to the young learners; identifying the resonance that parents’ patterns of action have on the social and academic adaptation of young learners
The research started from the following hypotheses: H1: The more parents apply educational practices that support children’s autonomy, the more they will facilitate their social and academic adaptation; H2: The more parents apply educational practices characterized by an imbalance of dosage between care and control, the more difficult the development of children’s autonomy becomes. 2.2
As Stan and Safta state, “the feeling of autonomy conveys a state of empowerment, the respective individuals feel they are in control, that they are at the root of their actions, that they exist and matter to others, which stimulates the increase in internal motivation ” (Stan, Safta, 2020, p. 4)
Summary
The job of a parent, as beautiful as it is, it is very difficult. Sometimes it looks magnificent and satisfying, other times exhausting. Following the trajectory of the child psychological development and evolution, specialized studies (Mitrofan, 2003, Crețu, 2009, Bonchiș, 2011) emphasize the overwhelming importance of the family environment in the development of his personality, as it performs a number of functions, such as biological, procreation, economic, psychoaffective and educational function. In this sense, some researchers strikingly highlight all the responsibilities of this social group: “the family is the primary factor in the child’s formation and socialization, representing the fundamental framework within which his psychological and social needs are met as well as the stages of the entire cycle growth and development” Some researchers strikingly highlight all the responsibilities of this social group: “the family is the primary factor in the child’s formation and socialization, representing the fundamental framework within which his psychological and social needs are met as well as the stages of the entire cycle growth and development” (Banciu, Rădulescu, Voicu, 1987, p. 53)
