Linguistic and psychophysiological dimensions of parent-child relationships

Abstract

A child's primary socialization environment and point of contact with the outside world is their family. A child learns how to fit in with society and has their first social interaction within the family. The child receives fundamental moral and behavioral models from the family, whether intentionally or inadvertently.  The article examines pressing issues related to the increasing number of negative incidents involving children and adolescents on the Internet, which have become a matter of public concern. It explores key questions such as the changes in children’s behavior, the growth of criminal incidents among minors, the shortcomings of parental involvement in upbringing, and the role of parent–child linguistic communication. A brief overview of different stages in the development of Kazakh society is provided to assess the strengths and weaknesses of child-rearing traditions. The analysis emphasizes the importance of competent linguistic interaction in the family, drawing on examples from Kazakh literary works, and highlights the necessity of integrating psychophysiological factors in the upbringing process, supported by research from German scholars. The article argues for the need of interdisciplinary, theory-based, and value-oriented approaches to family education that meet the demands of contemporary society.
