The conflict of values is one of the complex values of current educational practice; it promotes the idea that resonance and axiological coherence are desirable in all educating factors. We consider extremely important the manner a child or trainee relates to this exterior scenery of values, which is constantly facing dilemmas and conflicts. Parents` influence and the way the handle in different situations are the premises for the children`s future adult behaviours. Family is the most important factor of primary social interaction and it is responsible for developing the habitus (Bourdieu, 1999). Family does not only transfer information which is vital for cognitive or affective autonomy and functionality but also information on social statuses, beliefs and values that guide parents` and children`s behaviour. Shaping has an important role in the transfer process. Children, as observers of adult behaviour will include in their relationships similar behaviour to the one they imitate from their parents. Imitation refers to sets of values taken up by parents, to the manner they try to transfer these values to children through various activities and also to the manner parents themselves behave in this system of values. The study tries to link parental values, regarded as parents` beliefs on what is desirable in their children to peculiarities of cultural consumption seen as an attempt to shape them as reflexive readers. Education for reading facilitates autonomous orientation in understanding culture and reflexive relating to polymorphic and open values.
