Family in the context of prenatal psychology and education

Abstract

The article deals with specific family issues from the perspective of prenatal psychology and education. The personalistic paradigm is highlighted according to which a prenatal child is declared as an active family member who communicates with its environment. The conception of a child also initiates a developmental situation for the parents as "being two in one body" initiates physiological, mental, social and spiritual changes. The child should be considered as a gift for the parents, but also the parents are a gift for the child. The specific prenatal child-parents union is the first experience of a community for the human being, which shapes one’s relation with oneself and others for the whole life to come.
