The research is related to socio-pedagogical activity with parents, whose first-grade children experience school adaptation difficulties due to the acquired dependence. First of all dependency must be understood as a response to an interest and (or) demand. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the peculiarities of parents’ behaviour with their children; children’s school adaptation difficulties and how these difficulties affect an everyday classroom environment. Parents should be interested in their children’s adaptation process and in finding the most effective solution to problems. Social educators (family researchers) could play a key role in this process . They could solve school adaptation problems of the dependent first-grade pupils and focus on family issues. They could be both social educators and social workers constantly upgrading their theoretical and practical knowledge in response to the interaction between parents and children, the changes in their communication and the expression of the emerging problems in everyday environment. In this case, the activity of a family educator and its relevance is determined by the necessity to assist parents in raising children and correcting their school adaptation difficulties.
