Abstract

Giving the fact that proverbs in each society represent common beliefs, customs and norms, their accurate examination can provide a better understanding of peoples’ attitude toward family relationships. The purpose of this study is the qualitative analysis of Iranian Proverbs related to Parent-Child Relationship. Referring to the book "The Great Dictionary of Persian Proverbs" as one of the most comprehensive available sources, proverbs containing the words of mother, father, child and their synonyms were extracted and those which are descriptions of or relating to the Parent-child role were analyzed by Thematic Analysis method. 11 main themes were extracted based on the analyzes as follows: the special and unique place of the parents for the child, the fusion of parent and child, the qualitative difference between the role of the mother and the father, Parenting style, the competitors o parentchild relationship, the privileges of Parenting, Parenting costs, the child as parents’ property, child’ s flippancy against parents, child as the owner of parents' property, and the qualitative difference between son and daughter. Each of these themes also includes sub-themes. According to the results, Parent-Child Relationship is an important and incomparable relationship. In addition to its benefits, Parenting also have a lot of difficulties which make children always feel excessive responsibility and even guilt toward their parents. In proverbs, the Parent-Child Relationship is too enmeshed in such a degree in which it is so difficult to imagine the existence of concepts such as boundaries and differenttiations in this relationship. moreover, the mother's place is defined superior than the father for children, which contributes greatly to promoting the status of women in the family power hierarchy in traditional family. Based on the results, sexual desire, financial interests and life threats are the most important factors threatening parentchild relationship. It can be concluded that the Parent-Child Relationship, which is considered to be the most important relationship in Iranian traditional society, is not a completely trustworthy relationship and is negatively influenced by the individualism and the benefit seeking of both parties. According to the results, among criteria defined for the traditional family, the Iranian Family only meet the gender and generation hierarchies. The whole process of Parenting and the stages of the Iranian Family development have the tendency to keep this family power hierarchy.
