Family Structure and Behavior Disorders in Students in Primary Education in Macedonia

What should the family represent? In an ideal variant, it is a place where people act generously to each other or w here the interests of the family are put before the interests of others. But, nowadays family is undergoing a crisis and that is why it is not seen as a “holly” place for growing up, but as a “necessary reality”. The family is a primary spontaneous school, but it doesn’t act in an organized and intentional manner: we do not planit, we do not build it purposely, in the same way that we cannot plan our children – they are mostly born and they live in an emotional relation between the husband and the wife. The re are opinions that the condition in the family is to be blamed for all the disturbances in the behavior of children and young people (this refers to incomplete, dysfunctional, and broken families and the conclusion is made that parents are to blame for e verything). This kind of approach means that the whole development of a person is put in the frames of the theoretically ideal family which can rarely be metin practice. It cannot be emphasized or repeated enough: love is the most important moment! Not as a sentiment, as infatuation and tenderness – but as a clear and strong inner decision, a word given for a total mutual trust, with which every kind of bad action, animosity, and distance will be uprooted. Resulting from this and starting from the attitude that family is a rather closed unit, we have decided to investigate the situation in the Republic of Macedonia. Our objective is to examine the family structural characteristics and their impact on students in primary school. The research was carried out i n the course of 2012/2013 school yea
