PARENTAL FABBING AS A RISK FACTOR FOR DISHARMONIOUS CHILD-PARENT RELATIONSHIP

Abstract

Parental fabbing is a relatively new phenomenon that has become widespread in the Russian society, which has a negative impact on children and adolescents, causing them to have a number of psychological and behavioral problems: decreased self-esteem, anxiety, depression, aggression, addictive behavior, and decreased interest in learning. It is shown that the dismissive attitude of parents towards children during interaction with them, caused by the use of a mobile phone, has a negative impact on relationships, since the basic psychological needs of the child for self-esteem, belonging, control, and meaningful existence are not met. It is concluded that mutual emotional acceptance, respect for the child’s personality, and active participation in their life contribute to the formation of harmonious child-parent relations, ensuring the full development of the child’s personality: positive self-esteem, self-acceptance, trust in people, willingness to cooperate with them, and social and emotional competence.
