The initial aim of this article is to analyze the clash between everyday family practices and parents' normative images of perfect children. I identified five sets of features and behaviors of the actual child that mirror daily parents-children interactions (including parental socialization strategies) and three sets of features and behaviors that reflect parents' perceptions of a perfect child.
