The family, being the smallest unit of society, serves as a fundamental arena for personality development. This paper explores the significance of parental roles in shaping a child's personality, emphasizing the impact of familial interactions and dynamics. Drawing from qualitative research methodology, this study delves into existing literature to analyze the multifaceted nature of parental influence on personality development. The findings underscore the crucial role of parents in fostering a nurturing environment conducive to healthy personality growth in children.
