Abstract
The paper includes research results of families, who have never applied to psychological counselling. To assess the normality and abnormality of parent and child
personality existential criterion was used. In these families a so-called balanced style of parenting was revealed. This style indicates the compromising parental
position in the education of their children concerning the existential dichotomies help and autonomy, nature and culture, self-actualization and conditional values,
determinism and self-determination. The study results suggest that this position is developed by parents independently and on a rational basis. In accordance with the
existential criterion mentioned above, characteristics of the educational position of parents indicate normality of their personality. It is shown that a balanced style of
parenting contributes to developing child personality type with a dual, contradictory orientation for both children and their parents when solving life problems. Children
with this type of personality, as well as their parents, manifest inherent willingness to compromise position towards the same existential dichotomies help and autonomy,
nature and culture, self-actualization and conditional values, determinism and self-determination. Thanks to a balanced style of parenting favourable personal prerequisites
for the development of normal personality are shown. As balanced style of parenting contributes to the normal development of child personality, these children have lack
personal prerequisites for emerging difficulties in social adaptation, and therefore in families with such style of solving parent-child problems, due to these difficulties are
completely absent.
