Education means the activity and influence of various social factors, through which the personality develops. Family education is the foundation of social education because it is the child first encounters and achieves the first socializations in the family. The family and upbringing within it have been subject to many changes throughout history, so modern parenting and upbringing are imbued with the economic, social and moral aspects of modern society. Liberalism, as the dominant value in the last few has produced a culture and philosophy of individualism, which has brought greater opportunities for freedom of choice in terms of way of life. There has also been an equalization of the roles of men and women, which has also changed partnerships within the family. All of the above reflected on the educational possibilities of the family and on the very nature of upbringing. Modern families are dominated by the need to satisfy personal interests and desires, and adult men and women are increasingly striving for material well-being and professional careers at the expense of traditional values and living together. Postmodern time offers many benefits in upbringing, but it also takes its tribute. Today, more than ever, it is difficult to find the right path in educational processes. Families face major challenges, such as the influence of the media, populist parenting methods, and theories that seek to create an ideal environment in which to develop a child. All of this in many ways confuses parents and makes them frustrated in their educational endeavors in finding the best solutions in shaping their child’s personality. At the same time, it is often forgotten that a child only seeks security, warmth at home, love, attention and support from adults.
