Zusammenfassung
Die Beziehungen zwischen Eltern und ihren Kindern gehören zu den wichtigsten und langlebigsten in der Familie. In seiner Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedenen Definitionen des Begriffs ‚Familie‘ schlägt Schneider (2008, S. 13) vor, diese als „eine exklusive Solidargemeinschaft, die auf relative Dauer angelegt ist“ zu begreifen. Damit wird Familie aus einer Mikroperspektive als sozialer Interaktionsrahmen für Individuen beschrieben, der seinen exklusiven Charakter durch eine spezifische, in der Regel generationenübergreifende Rollenstruktur (Vater – Mutter – Kind) und die Solidarbeziehungen zwischen den Familienmitgliedern erhält.
