Summary/Abstract: The role of the family in the development of violent behavior in children is crucial for understanding the causes and preventing the problem. Family environment, behavior modeling, parenting styles, family dynamics, and communication are some of the key factors that can influence the emergence of violent behavior in children. Behavior modeling by parents, lack of warmth and support, family conflicts, and a lack of healthy communication can increase the risk of violent behavior. The aim of this research is to determine the attitudes of students regarding the role of the family in the development of aggressive behavior in children. The sample consisted of students of early and preschool education and primary education from the University of Slavonski Brod (Croatia),totaling 74 participants. The research utilized theoretical analysis and survey methods, with a survey questionnaire in the form of a Likert scale created for the purpose of this study. The results obtained imply the high significance of family factors in shaping children's behavior, including parental behavior modeling, quality of family communication, and parenting styles. This indicates the need for further research and development of intervention strategies that would support families in preventing violent behavior among children. It is important to recognize that the family is not the sole factor influencing a child's violent behavior, but it has a significant impact on shaping values and social skills. Therefore, support for families through parenting education, therapeutic interventions, and other programs is important for reducing the risk of violent behavior and promoting a healthy family environment that encourages positive behavior patterns and prevents violence among children. This is a crucial step towards creating a safer and supportive environment for children to grow and develop without violence.
