For the purpose of studying a parent's position the author used such techniques, as the joint activity test, an essay in the form of unfinished sentences, and a questionnaire for parents. A drawing of a family and a role play named "A Family" were used to study a child's position. Basing on the research results, five types of parentchild interaction were defined and characterized: onflicting, harmonious, distant, "dominating Parent – conformable Child", "dominating Child conformable Parent". The features of pedagogical position that are characteristic of each type are given as well.
