Rola Kościoła w kształtowaniu kultury pedagogicznej rodziców

Abstract

Parents bear the primary responsibility for educating their children. This task is an art which requires a lot of skills. In this respect, parents cannot rely merely on their inborn abiIities. They should constantly seek to perfect and acquire pedagogical skills. However, educating children is a task for which few parents prepare in a systematic way. Oftentimes their conscious, intentional educational policies stand in contradiction to their actions and lifestyle, which renders them ineffective. This work contains a suggestion that the Church should also aid parents in raising their offspring. Unfortunately, few specialists concerned with this field mention the Church's activity in this regard. However, it should clearly be the role of the Church to organize counseling and the pedagogization of parents and future parents at the parishes, deaneries, and dioceses. This work shows that the Church has both the right and duty to do so.
