The text is the result of scientific research by the author as part of the projects: "Quality care for children, adolescents and young people" and "Dream repairer". It reflects the importance of training the family to achieve the fulfilment of its functions, specifically to prevent behavioural disorders in schoolchildren. It consists of two chapters, which show the systematisation, evaluation and theoretical contribution of the contents referred to the categories: family, family orientation, behavioural disorders and prevention of behavioural disorders. The proposal, planned from an experiential training process, is considered a guidance tool for the prevention of behavioural disorders in schoolchildren, as it constitutes a process of interaction with the family, where the counsellor, through activity and communication, contributes to the development of knowledge and skills for the education of their children from experiential experience, creativity, professionalism, empathy and respect.
