The king of family in which children grow up effect their development of determining the kind of relationship they have with different family members. Parents are attached to their children through filial affection. They are anxious about their future life, Physical safety, the way they behave and worry about their academic achievement. The main responsibility of parents 1s to provide happy childhood to their grown up children. These adolescents need love, care and approval to feel secure.
