A place where one feels safe, loved and attached is called family. The structure and role of the family has undergone a transformation from traditional to modern. The family no longer has the structure of exclusively filling the family. Today, there are also incomplete parental families, divorced families with separated children, adopted families and families made up of persons of the same sex. Events within the family and changes in the perception of the same, for children of the first and most important community in life, affect the socio-emotional development and behavior of the child, but also the development of competencies. The life of each individual is filled with a range of emotions. Feelings of happiness, sadness, fear and anger intertwine on a daily basis. Sometimes even adults are unable to interpret their own emotions and behaviors, but especially children who are just getting to know the world around them. Educators have an important role to play in understanding children and supporting them to get to know themselves and their own emotions, accepting broken family relationships and changes within the family. Educators are people who can acquaint children with the changes and problems that happen to them, their professional role to improve the development of competencies and self-confidence of the child. In addition to the professional role of educators towards children, the educator should present his / her competencies to parents. The partnership between parents and educators is crucial and is based on mutual trust and respect. It is necessary to invest effort and time in building quality partnerships that will contribute to the educational institution, educator, child and parents.The main goal of this review paper is to highlight the role and ways in which educators can develop self-confidence and competencies in children with family relationships.
