This will enable those members, in the future, of making a dialogue with the other and having an openness in dealing with him/her. Therefore, this current research discusses the culture of familial dialogue. It also shows the relation of some variables because of the family members' having the skills of listening and speaking. Two questionnaires were designed to achieve the goals of the study. One of those questionnaires was directed to the children and the other one was directed to the parents. Moreover, those questionnaires were applied on a sample of some families living in a residential quarter in Jableh known as Western Jbeibat. The number of the families involved in the study was 384.
