Parenthood as family responsibility: ways of formation

Abstract

The relevance of the problem of parents' responsible attitude to the upbringing and socialization of children requires a rethinking of the nature of parenthood and its origins, especially in a context where there is a backdrop of persisting indicators of child ill-being and a difficult demographic situation. The purpose of the article is to characterize parenthood as a complex phenomenon and family-clan responsibility that sets the vector for building a family and family education. The theoretical significance of the study lies in understanding the phenomenon of parenthood from the perspective of family-clan relations, the responsibility of a modern parent to past and future generations in an organic combination of social, moral and spiritual components of responsibility. The scientific novelty lies in the clarification of the concept “parenthood as family and clan responsibility.” The practical significance lies in the possibility of developing and implementing various forms of interaction with schoolchildren, young couples preparing for family and married life, young parents and representatives of the older generation in the context of understanding parenthood as interrelated and interdependent types of responsibility to the family.
