Abstract

The concepts underlying this paper have in common the noun “parent”. Drawing on this basis, we present the intra-family ways of interaction, the needs of children and the necessary parenting abilities and skills for the formation of a strong winner-type child with a high self-esteem, or a loser-type child. This paper presents the two facets of the same coin, a shining one offered to children by parents with parenting skills, and the other shadowed by parentification. We also approach the importance of forming parenting skills in children development, as opposed to their absence and the parentification of children.
