The article presents the results of an empirical study of the relationship of well-being in parent-child relationships and factors that negatively affect its development. Such factors are the styles of the child-parent relationship “Excessive demands-prohibitions” and “Insufficient demands-prohibitions” and pathogenic reflection of the mother. On the example of these styles of parental attitude to the child, mechanisms are shown that prevent the formation of the emotional and psychological well-being of the child. It has been established that the style of the parental attitude towards the child depends on the quality of reflection. The mother's pathogenic reflection is aimed not at solving problems that arise in parent-child relationships, but at her own experiences and states, which actualizes the need for protection from them. Reflexive defenses, in turn, manifest themselves in behavioral patterns and are anchored as experiences in parenting styles.
