Wychowanie pod presją, czyli dzieciństwo XXI wieku
Education under pressure, that is, 21st century childhood

Summary/Abstract: The family is the place where the child comes into the world, where his basic needs are satisfied, both physiological and psychological. The family environment is the process of human education. Family performs many functions influencing the educational process, it can be seen as a system of interrelated parts, between which there are different relationships and interactions. A way to fulfill the educational function of the family and the consequent effects on child’s interactions depend largely on the attitudes of the father and the mother to the child. Giving one’s child the right to freedom of his age these days leaves a lot to be desired. An interesting, yet disturbing picture of childhood is drawn, the image of a generation overly controlled and supervised. We have had overweight children, myopia, children who are sick and suffering from overweight. Targeting children is based on imposing his own will or forcing a particular procedure, but is that the education we want? Therefore, in many publications, educational, sociological and psychological child development experts provide a restless, impatient parents the same advice: each child develops at a different pace. The early years are important, but do not take part in the race. Spend less time trying to improve a child by force, but rather try to get to know them. Believe your instincts, rather than imitate everything mom-alpha does on the playground. For centuries, children never chose their childhood.

The question is, what can we do so that it is more about children?
