Abstract In The Croods the relationship between Grug and Eep is a typical relationship of father and daughter. From the perspective of paternalism, Grug loves Eep but seldom expresses himself due to his rigid and tyranny character. In response, Eep comes to follow the nature of inpidualism to pursue her dreams. Because of the differences in the concept of family values, the conflicts occur frequently and build up increasingly. On one hand, Eep attempts to break through the constraints; on the other hand, the father Grug spares no efforts to return to the cave life and takes the charge of the Croods again. As a result, the relationship goes worse, and there are lots of combat during their journey. However, the Croods has a great happy ending. 53750

1. Introduction
Family conflicts are easily to be seen in daily life. There are amounts of reasons. For example, people hold different attitudes towards the old, the family responsibilities, the family structures and the different family roles in daily life (Zhang Xuanting, 2011: 40). Besides, the gaps between parents and children, the quarrels among the children, and the differences in inpidual life styles also lead to the conflicts. Those all have great influence on family life and family members. To some extent, those may result in quarrels, complaints or even the cold war between family members. Those will also endanger the healthy growing of the children, the trust in each other and affections among them. However, it is a challenge for the family, a special test to challenge their affections, abilities and wisdom in life. Once the conflicts and misunderstandings are conquered and solved, families would be much closer and life would be more harmonious.
