Early childhood is characterised by psychological, sociological and cognitive development. Therefore, it is very important that children have the conditions for growing up in a supportive and stimulating environment. The primary factor of socialization is the family, which represents an important source of protection and security. But sometimes the conditions of growing up in the family, as well as different life situations and environments , as socialozation factors, are not always protective and stimulating. If both the family and the environment are at risk for the growth and development of the child, the childs vulnerability and risk for the development uotcomes of the child will also increase. The longer the children are exposed to risk factors the greater the risk of an increase in internal stressors that can then prevent the child from achieving their potential nad healthy psychological development. This also increases the likelihood that it will not develop resistance to further life problems and will manifest some of the behavioural problems. This work focuses on the problem of growing up faced by families in urban environments developed by the Western countries and familiesmigrating there, so growing up is influenced by the environment at the micro and macro level.
