In order to be able to fulfill the fundamental function of the family - that is to provide security for the child - and its socializing, acculturating and individualizing role, the main purpose of educating parents becomes the formation of the parents' educational consciousness, of the requirement to make a conscious effort as the child's needs (including education) evolve.
