In the article we showed, that the family, as a small group, created for its members such conditions for emotional manifestations and satisfaction of emotional needs that enable a person to feel that he belonged to society. The family differs from other small groups in the diversity, depth and duration of the ties that unite its members. It is these characteristics of the family that make it indispensable in raising the younger generation, since they provide a long-lasting, deeply emotional and multifaceted influence on the formation of the child’s personality. We justified, that the child’s experience of his/her place in the family, the child’s interaction with the family as a whole and with its individual members was associated with the interpersonal relationships that existed in it. We proved, that the analysis of the “family-child” relationships was expressed by us in the assessment of the following orientations: interpersonal aspects of family interaction and the characteristics of communication of its members; the importance of personal criteria (motives, needs, self-awareness); attitudes, relationships of family members. Living in a family, a child accumulates a lot of experience in interpersonal relationships. Correctly or distortedly, he perceives how his parents treat him/her, as they avoid him/her, are dissatisfied with the child, recognize his/her autonomy, or infringe on him/her, how kindly they treat the child. Over time, children realize how loved and significant they are to their parents. Our researches show that a child’s body and his/her psyche feel a constant need for positive emotional support from parents. The nature of emotions greatly affects the child’s health, determines his/her vitality, attitudes to the world around a child. The influence of positive emotions reduces the child’s excitement, ensures the normal functioning of his/her body’s functional systems. It has been proven that under the conditions of long-term exposure to a traumatic nature, negative emotions inevitably are arisen in a child. This fact complicates the course of the child’s mental development: it makes it difficult to establish adaptive interpersonal relationships with others, prevents him/her from mastering new adaptive social roles, the development of communication skills and possibilities of interpersonal interaction. Adaptive family relationships between the family and the child’s side can shape the child’s positive outlook on the world and on himself/herself. However, these same officials, but with other psychological changes, can facilitate low self-esteem of children, distrust of others. In such a way, the emotional situation in the family directly flows into the adaptive mutual relationships between fathers and children of high school.
