The monograph is devoted to the description of contemporary practices of motherhood, their discussion in the public field and new problems of parenthood. The transformation of the family, the orientation of contemporary mothers to scientific knowledge against the background of a critical attitude to traditional ancestral parenting practices — all these changes modern family practices and way of life. The family increasingly assumes the role of the customer of education, which reveals itself as a special interest of mothers in building the educational trajectory of children, starting from the first days at school, and in homeschooling, and in designing educational trials within the framework of informal education. The new configuration of family practices and ideas about one’s own parenting provokes a desire for self-education, which configures a request for educational programs for parents. This request is met mainly through direct instruction, in this book the emphasis is on the development of parental self-efficacy.
For a wide range of readers, analysts and researchers in the field of education and child psychology, teachers, parents.
