Abstract

In this paper, I tried to address how to have a healthy communication with
the child from infancy should be and it is the undeniable influence of the child
on the potential of being a human. In this context, the points should be taken into
consideration in application through technical subjects like infant attachment,
ideal parental attitudes, gaining internal motivation, Active Listening, I-Message.
Communication based on universal values is defined and the opinions of important
people especially about children and childhood are listed. By addressing human
relationships in infancy, emphasis is placed on the importance of attachment theory,
which is at the root of not only a healthy parent-child relationship, but also on the
basis of later social relationships and emphasizes the basic function of the relationship
of attachment. The different parental attitudes that parents develop based on
their warmth, responsiveness and control characteristics, and the parenting style
of the family are examined. How to communicate with the child through the Active
Listening, I-Message topics and the effects on the child’s personality are tried to
show. As a result, it is stated that the goal of a healthy and virtuous society can
only be achieved by cultivating conscientious, compassionate, good people and
the issue is edifying human being rather than raising a child.
