morality. Children in a group learn how to express emotions through exam-
ples and own experiences, allowing them to integrate. And the group also
plays an important role in adolescence, at the time of gaining independence
and search for identity (Baker 2015). This is the time when a person mentally
and physically matures and wants to gain independence from the protection
of their parents (important Seconds). For independent living, they must be
capable of decision-making (on education, occupation, family) and assum-
ing responsibility for themselves and others (their children). An individual
tries to meet the need for identity in the interaction with the environment.
They look for belonging outside the already known groups, such as family,
school and friends. The inclusion into new social groups brings new forms of
security, lifestyle, customs and habits. The man assumes several roles in life
and is a member of several social groups, which means that he must coordi-
nate the interests of different communities, which may overlap, complement
or oppose each other. In these processes of interpersonal relationships and
interactions, an individual identity is formed (Južnič 1993).
Although peers are increasingly important for adolescents, the parents are
still the ones the children or adolescents rely on in key moments. Therefore,
it is easier for adolescents to gain independence in families with strong and
cordial relationships, because they know that in times of uncertainty they
can count on the help and support of the family (Fenwick and Smith 1997).
Namely, the adolescent is not yet fully mature during this period and is not
always capable of prudent decision, and therefore still needs their parents’
assistance in the development of identity. Nevertheless, they must allow for
the possibility of decision-making, even when in the end they decide for
themselves. Also in this period, parents need to learn loosening of family ties,
and especially they have to accept that this time the ties will transform and
deepen. If the parents do not allow the child the conditions for growing up,
emotional and mental suppression, interruption of sexual maturation occur,
and more. During this period, the adolescent should be allowed to leave their
family, but you should also let him know that he can return to it (Doblehar
2009).
‘Responsible parenthood begins with a responsible attitude towards one-
self. Indicators of maturity and adulthood of parents are conscious attitude
to oneself, one’s own systems of values and beliefs, and responsibility of one’s
own actions.’ (Pahole 2003, 57)
