Abstract
The family interaction-test, a child-suitable diagnostic method for pr eschool children (FIT-K) and test results are presented. With the help of the FIT-K, features of parental support and conflict behavior as p erceived by the child are recorded, and connections to parental reflec tions in this matter as well as structural and socio-economic features of the families investigated. Mothers see themselves as more comforti ng, more encouraging and more helpful towards their children than the children themselves judge this. The way she's seen by her partner does n't confirm the child's image.
