Summary/Abstract: Recently there can have been observed a considerable increase in children’s antisocial behaviour, as well as a decrease in the degree of sensitivity to good and evil. Children assimilate those norms which are present at their social environment and are respected by other people. Kindness and helping another person is not a spontaneous phenomenon which forms in the absence of education, by the very fact of the participation in social life. Nurture does not proceed in isolation from evolutional rights; it depends on the level of intellectual, emotional and social maturity of a child. The subject of the following research is restricted only to the impact of parental attitudes on pro-social behaviour of children in primary school. At the same time it should be remembered that readiness to help another person is strongly determined by personality features anchored inside a child.
