This paper describes the attachment in parent - child relationship and parenting style that parents use in raising their own children. The main objective was to describe how feeling of attachment to parents, emotional relationships that parents create with their child and parenting style are key determinants of the child's future life. The relationship that paren and child establish is going to be the model for establishing subsequent relationships in a child's life, and it also has an effect on child's emotional and cognitive development. The paper consists of six parts, of which the first is and introduction that explains the attachment theory through history, with a special emphasis on the Bowlby attachment theory. The second part of the paper describes three attachment stages. The third part is based on the Mary Ainsworth's research which describes three types of attachment. Mentioned theories, but also generally speaking, the notion of parenting thoughts on the mother, and father is placed in the background. Therefore, the fourth part of the paper describes the attachment between child and a father, that shouldn't be ignored. In addition, the fifth part refers to the stayles of parenting that contribute to the child's future image of "him/herslef". Four parenting styles were obtained through two dimensions of which the first one is parental warmth and second dimension relates to parenting supervision and control of the child. In the sixth part the paper also describes Ronald P. Rohner's theory of parental acceptance and rejection. He assumes the existence of only one-dimension, and that is paretal warmth which is divided into two halfs - parental rejection and parental acceptance. Finally, at the end there is the conclusion of entire paper.
