The family is the most important social network for in first period of children life. Therefore the relationship in family will be foundation of attitude over other, things and life commonly. In this matter family also put the foundation of adaptation and learning pattern to think about their self as what family done over children The family is not influent only in children social but also in pattern of attitude.
