Introduction

Family plays an active role in the normal growth of the personality of their children. It is the most influential factor in the health and psychological normality in childhood. It also counts as the basic source of information and skills and the most important institution through which the child receives care, guidance and values (Shinawi, 1998) and through which the child is imbued with the family upbringing, values and standards and oriented-rules for his actions and behaviors. Within this context, the family atmosphere affects the growth of the son and his behavior and trends as well. It is also mostly associated with the patterns and methods through which the parents perform the roles assigned to them (Bin Auf, 2009). In this regard, Al-Jabali (2000) pointed out that the family upbringing marred with various problems and deviations will reflect on all its members and on its cohesion, stability and harmony among its members.
