You know, in every person’s life there are people they look up to, value, and also love — their heroes. I have such people in my life too, and they are my father and mother. Yes, you read that right: my parents are my heroes.
You may ask how. I don’t really know myself, but whenever someone asks me, “Who are your heroes?”, they are the first people who come to my mind.
In general, everyone in my family — my grandfather, grandmother, parents, and my younger sister — are my heroes. Why? Because I take them as role models, I learn from them, and I try to act like them, but I do not repeat their mistakes (everyone who breathes makes mistakes).
You might think, “Are only your family members your heroes?” My answer is no. Because every person I am interested in, every person whose information I collect and carefully write down in my notebook — all of them are my HEROES!

Abstract: This article examines the concept of a dysfunctional family, the factors that contribute to its emergence, and the psychological consequences observed in such families. A dysfunctional family is characterized by insufficient emotional bonds, mutual understanding, and support among members, alongside frequent conflicts. The research highlights social, economic, and psychological factors that influence the formation of these families. It also analyzes the effects on children raised in such environments, including their mental health, interpersonal skills, and social adaptation. Additionally, the article suggests psychological strategies for addressing the problems inherent in dysfunctional families.
A dysfunctional family refers to a family that fails to fulfill its essential functions and does not provide a healthy psychological environment for its members. In such families, love, understanding, support, mutual trust, and respect are often insufficient. Consequently, conflicts, violence, neglect, psychological pressure, and cold relationships frequently arise. Dysfunctional families may appear normal externally but internally suffer from emotional, psychological, and communicational problems. Children raised in such environments often crave attention, affection, and approval. They tend to develop low self-esteem, lack trust in others, and often replicate similar patterns of dysfunction in their own lives.
The emergence of dysfunctional families is influenced by several factors. Psychological factors include the internal state of family members, their personal issues, and childhood traumas. Stress and nervous tension, socio-economic difficulties, and inappropriate parenting styles all contribute. Dysfunctional families result from a combination of psychological, social, and familial factors. Where warmth, communication, and mutual respect are absent, dysfunction is likely to emerge.
Consequences of Dysfunctional Families
The impact of growing up in a dysfunctional family is profound, affecting both children and parents. For children, consequences include low self-esteem, fear and anxiety, emotional coldness, difficulty in social adaptation, and aggressive or passive behavior. For parents, consequences include emotional exhaustion, insecurity as caregivers, social isolation, psychological trauma, and physical health problems. Long-term dysfunction can render the family emotionally void, despite the formal existence of relationships.
Perspectives of Scholars
Virginia Satir: Dysfunctional families lack healthy communication, emotional expression, and trust. Unexpressed emotions increase internal pressure, destabilizing the family system.
Murray Bowen: The family is a single system; one member’s stress affects the entire system.
Sigmund Freud: Dysfunctional families often stem from unresolved parental childhood traumas unconsciously transmitted to children.
Nafosat Zikirova (Uzbek scholar): Dysfunctional families in Uzbekistan are influenced by social pressure, unemployment, and moral decline; psychological counseling and positive psychology are recommended.
Nodira Latipova: Violence and neglect are the most dangerous forms of dysfunction, affecting children’s trust and social integration.
Prevention of Dysfunctional Families
Preventing dysfunction strengthens both individual well-being and societal stability. Strategies include increasing psychological literacy, promoting healthy communication, developing counseling and therapy systems, preparing youth for marriage, and promoting healthy societal values. Prevention requires ongoing efforts to build emotional health, communication skills, and empathy among all family members.

In today’s era of globalization and increasing competition, not only a person’s knowledge and skills matter, but also their ability to communicate effectively and respectfully. In any field, the key to success lies in the ability to speak clearly, precisely, and sincerely. Especially in professional settings, communication is not merely a way of exchanging ideas—it has become a measure of one’s reputation, credibility, and competence.
Professional communication is not just about talking; it is a purposeful, clear, and culturally appropriate exchange of ideas. Every specialist—whether a teacher, doctor, engineer, journalist, or entrepreneur—must know how to express thoughts effectively, listen attentively, and maintain mutual respect during conversation. Today’s job market demands not only knowledge but also strong communicative competence.
It is important to remember that in every conversation, persuasive speech, positive emotions, a respectful tone, and good manners play a crucial role. A successful communicator is someone who can empathize, putting themselves in another’s position, and who expresses ideas not only through words but also through gestures, eye contact, and tone of voice.
Modern technology has transformed the way we communicate. Emails, messengers, and online meetings have become new arenas for professional interaction. In this context, understanding information culture, ethics, and digital etiquette is of great importance.
Therefore, to succeed in professional communication, a person must:
express their thoughts clearly and concisely;
possess good listening skills;
respect their interlocutor;
be able to resolve issues through dialogue;
use modern communication tools appropriately.
Communication is one of the greatest powers that defines humanity. Those who can direct it wisely will achieve success in any team and in any field.

Introduction
The process of primary education is not only a stage for providing pupils with basic knowledge but also an important period for shaping them as individuals. It is during this stage that a child’s worldview begins to expand, and essential competencies such as understanding the environment, communicating, managing their own behavior, and recognizing their role in society begin to develop. Indeed, an educational process that is not enriched with moral and nurturing elements may result in students gaining only theoretical knowledge without being prepared to apply it in real life.
The integrity of education and upbringing means prioritizing the development of the learner’s personality in the content, methods, and organizational forms of the learning process, as well as continuously strengthening their moral qualities. In primary education, one of the main tasks of teachers today is raising independent thinkers who are socially active, possess communication skills, and demonstrate responsibility and strong values within a market-economy environment. This, in turn, requires teachers to possess high professional mastery, psychological sensitivity, and the ability to use modern methods effectively.
Studying the importance of an educational and nurturing approach in primary education, analyzing its theoretical foundations, and defining mechanisms for practical application directly influence the quality of education and the development of students’ personalities. This article scientifically explores the harmony between teaching and upbringing, the application of nurturing methods in the classroom, teacher professionalism, and the importance of school–family cooperation. A thorough study of these aspects serves to improve the quality of primary education and raise the younger generation as well-rounded individuals.
Main Part
In today’s era of globalization and rapidly advancing information technologies, the need to organize the educational process on the basis of innovative approaches is increasing day by day. The primary education stage is the foundational period during which the child’s thinking, character, interests, and worldview are formed. Therefore, applying innovative methods at this stage is not only a requirement of the time but also the most effective way that aligns with the natural development of children. An innovative approach means viewing the educational process from a modern perspective and harmonizing contemporary pedagogical technologies, interactive methods, and digital tools. Such methods transform students from passive listeners into active participants. Game-based tasks, multimedia tools, interactive presentations, online learning platforms, and virtual laboratories increase students’ interest in lessons and encourage independent thinking. For example, the STEAM approach develops scientific thinking, technical interest, creativity, and observation skills among primary school students. Gamification strengthens motivation, fosters a sense of competition, and teaches responsibility in completing tasks.
Most importantly, the innovative approach shapes students not just as memorizers but as individuals who conduct research, ask questions, solve problems, and express their ideas freely. In this regard, modern education requires teachers to think innovatively and constantly seek improvement. A teacher’s pedagogical skill, technological knowledge, and creativity in organizing a lesson directly influence the quality of primary education. As President Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted, “Today’s teacher is the person who creates tomorrow’s society.” This reflects the importance of innovative education. Education based on innovation develops students’ intellectual potential, social activity, and life skills.
The advancement of modern science and technology shows that creativity, adaptability, critical thinking, and digital literacy will be essential competencies for success in the future. This process aims not only to make students knowledgeable but also morally, socially, and spiritually mature individuals.
Psychological research shows that children aged 6–10 easily accept new knowledge, but they need a nurturing approach to apply it in practice and develop self-control. As the great pedagogue K.D. Ushinsky said, “If education is separated from upbringing, the spiritual world of a person becomes fragmented.” This emphasizes the unity of education and upbringing.
Because primary school pupils are sensitive and highly curious, lessons enriched with nurturing elements help them develop self-awareness, respect for others, and positive behavior. Mother tongue lessons can instill values such as honesty, friendship, and patience, while mathematics teaches order, accuracy, and responsibility. Nature and environmental topics build a sense of respect and responsibility toward the environment. Ahmad Donish also expressed this idea: “Being a child of the homeland is the greatest honor.” Therefore, the content of lessons must be harmonized with nurturing components. Modern pedagogical methods play an important role in strengthening nurturing approaches. The “brainstorming” method develops free thinking, respect for others’ opinions, and problem-solving skills. For instance, a brainstorming activity on “How can we strengthen friendship in the classroom?” teaches students kindness. Furthermore, methods such as “Insert”, “Cluster”, and “T-chart” help students analyze information, think logically, and draw conclusions, while also fostering discipline and responsibility. Group work teaches cooperation, active listening, and respect for different opinions. As Jalaluddin Rumi stated: “One person sees one thing, another sees something else; but together, the truth becomes clearer.” Thus, collaborative methods strengthen unity and teamwork among children.
Game-based technologies are the most natural and effective tools for nurturing in primary education. Role-play games such as “Store”, “World of Professions”, and “Library” teach communication culture, waiting for one’s turn, polite behavior, and kindness. Active games like “Think Fast”, “Mind Circle”, and “Guess Who?” develop attention, quick thinking, and discipline. Moral games such as “What Is Good Behavior?” and “Who Does Good Deeds?” instill values of kindness and morality. Thus, games not only serve as educational tools but also reinforce the nurturing process. The teacher’s personal example is also an inseparable part of nurturing. If a teacher is polite, fair, responsible, and kind, these qualities naturally influence students. As Leo Tolstoy noted: “Good upbringing begins with a good teacher.” Therefore, the teacher’s speech, behavior, and work ethic help develop positive habits among pupils.
School–family cooperation is another essential factor in strengthening the effectiveness of nurturing. Open-house days, parent meetings, and joint events help reinforce responsibility, discipline, and moral values. A child’s personality is largely shaped within the family, and parental speech is the strongest pedagogical tool. Through language, a child learns not only information but also values, worldview, and communication culture. If parents speak clearly, use rich vocabulary, and encourage conversation through questions, the child learns to express ideas accurately and confidently. Through parents’ speech, qualities such as kindness, honesty, patience, justice, and respect are naturally absorbed into a child’s consciousness. Modern research shows that supportive and consistent parental speech positively affects emotional development and academic performance.
Instilling national values is also crucial in child upbringing. Lessons that include folklore, historical events, and cultural traditions cultivate patriotism, respect for culture, and a strong sense of identity. Nurturing must be continuous and systematic. When carried out consistently, children grow not only knowledgeable but also morally and spiritually rich individuals. A supportive psychological environment helps children fully reveal their potential, quickly absorb new knowledge, and develop positive qualities. As Albert Einstein said: “The aim of education is not knowledge, but action.”
Conclusion
In conclusion, the use of modern, effective, and child-centered approaches in the primary education process plays a decisive role in the comprehensive development of students. Every lesson, every nurturing influence, and every word of the teacher becomes the foundation for shaping the worldview, thinking, character, and interests of the younger generation. In today’s rapidly changing world, organizing education through interactive methods, games, experiments, and practical activities encourages students to think actively, supports their creativity, and nurtures initiative. Considering each child’s unique abilities, temperament, and interests is essential for effective teaching. Likewise, the teacher’s knowledge, kindness, professionalism, and attitude toward children greatly determine the quality of the lesson, as young students view their teacher not only as an instructor but also as a guide in life.
The harmony of education and upbringing ensures that students not only gain knowledge but also grow into polite, thoughtful, and responsible individuals who benefit society. Therefore, giving serious attention to primary education and organizing lessons in rich, engaging, and child-friendly ways is the most reliable foundation for our future. Research and practical experience show that applying nurturing approaches, using modern pedagogical methods and game technologies, as well as teacher example and effective school–family cooperation, significantly contribute to the development of children. The main aspects that require attention in child upbringing include kindness, trust, discipline, independent thinking, communication culture, and the integration of national values. When these elements are harmoniously implemented, students grow not only knowledgeable but also morally and socially mature members of society.
Speaking, saying, repeating and remembering. Do not think again. Consider my words, think and remember. Return to the path of my Lord and think. Not deviation, but denial. Do not condemn, criticize and deny any action. Get up early at dawn and pray. Close the door. At night, pray, ask for forgiveness, read and remember. So that you may see the deceit of the souls of the servants. How much they deny. They forget the goodness of each other and do not think. Appearances deceive at dawn. No one can blame. Whoever sees a sin, change it and deny it. The owner of the mosque spends the night drunk. Mixing with men. The atmosphere is murky with prostitutes and jinns. The jinns have corrupted and continue to deny it. And they deny it every day. They play with them like a joker. In every country, dust settles and appears. They spend the night dancing. Their rightful time is to stay up late. Speak, speak and bring news. And sail the sea. And, close your eyes and listen to the word of the one who is. Speak, speak.
My sweetheart, I love her, how could I not? I still love it I do not forget You showered me with excitement and compliments She wears an ivory crown Delicate to be placed by the weaver I love you, you are the love of my heart. how can I forget you ? And you missed me We hope that you will come to me after a long separation Crying tears And she sheds I stayed up all night after you By candlelight Without going back and complaining The lover suffers Don’t go back, and going back is your passion And you will always remain in my heart.
