Skopa V. A.

The paper analyzes the family as a fundamental social unit, which is the first and defining space for the personal development of an individual. The family is considered as a unique educational system with a powerful potential for transmitting basic life guidelines and value systems. The research focus is on revealing the mechanisms of family influence on the spiritual and moral development of a child, identifying pedagogical tools for shaping his inner world and moral and ethical principles. Key aspects include studying the ways of transmitting cultural heritage through intra-family communications, analyzing strategies for emotional and psychological support of an individual in the process of growing up and developing individuality. The study confirms the system-forming role of the family in creating a favorable developmental environment that ensures the continuity of spiritual traditions and moral education of the younger generation.
