The linguistic, communication and speech development of a child in early childhood depends on numerous factors (internal, external and self-activity of a child). Among the external factors, a significant role is being played by parents, as the first and fundamental educators. Therefore, this paper aims to show how and how much the quality of the family environment contributes to the linguistic, communication and speech development of a child in young age. The quality of family life is being observed through the interaction-communication of parent-child relationship in the function of linguistic and communication speech development in the everyday family environment. For this purpose, quantitative research was carried out aimed at investigating the habits of the modern parent that are related to the linguistic, communication and speech development of the children. Online poll was conducted which included 231 parents of early childhood children as participants of the survey. A measuring instrument has been constructed for research purposes. The results of the paper reflect the awareness of parents about the importance of using opportunities for interaction and communication activity in order to increase children's linguistic, communication and speech development, but also the increasing presence of media use in children's free time.
