This scientific paper has revealed the problems with institutions of children’s socialization (family and children’s community) in modern society. These problems are the erosion of emotional bonding between parents and children and the erosion of children community. The reasons for the erosion of emotional bonding between parents and children are determined. They are change of the system of social relations which caused the significant shifts in the system of adults’ values, change of quality of communication in families. The difficulties of modern family education have been determined. They are “distant” or “phone” education; great informational influence on children; lack of parents’ emotional contact with their children; formation of social infantilism; “social orphanage”. The paper uses data gathered from theoretic search and empirical investigation (data gathered from 31 families, from children and their parents). The results have shown that there are difficulties in communication and interaction between parents and children. These difficulties are caused by social-economical, moral-judicial, cultural-educational conditions (when parents have to spend much time at work and have no time to communicate with their children), parents’ inattentiveness, absence of their willingness and possibilities to communicate with their children, a low level of parents’ pedagogical culture, children’s overreliance on computer games and virtual world
