Abstract

A family relationship based on mutual understanding and respect between the two parties, and built on solid foundations rooted in Islam, creates a nurturing social environment for its children, in which they grow up socially and healthily.


Unlike relationships based on disagreements and quarrels, which lead to conflicts in the children's personalities and psychological disorders, which in turn affect their social development and adaptation to the surrounding environment.


The relationship between parents and the family ties that unite them play an effective role in creating a family atmosphere filled with love, reassurance, security, and affection. This positively impacts aspects of a child's personality, fosters family harmony between parents, and their agreement on parenting methods for dealing with their children.


Personality is not born with the individual, but rather is formed and gradually develops with him through the influence of the family and his interaction with the social environment in which he grows up. One of the first social institutions that society finds is the family.If it is sound, it receives its first lessons in self-confidence, self-reliance, courage, acceptance, tolerance, sacrifice, concern for the affairs of others, respect for others, and cooperation with them.
