Communication is a wide concept and an important life activity, so it should not be understood only as the expression of our own thoughts and feelings, but as two-way process, which also includes receiving and responding to the messages of others. Communication (either verbal or non-verbal) is an activity which can hardly be avoided. It enables and facilitates coexistence with others, therefore it is crucial that every individual develops it at an early stage of life. This is where the family comes in, which is the primary factor at the child socialization. With communication family shapes child’s first values and rules and also becomes his example, which is why his later communication features are the result of the communication he received in the childhood. Each and every family forms its own pattern of communication, which also has a significant influence on raising a child, therefore the aim of my diploma assignment is to research and determine whether the parents are aware of the importance of communication with the child, the communication between them and the importance of communication in raising a child. On this basis, the theoretical part presents the basic concepts that are crucial for the selected topic, and the empirical part presents the answers that I obtained through qualitative research.
