Conscious parenting is one of the most complex and underdeveloped areas of modern science. The urgency of its study is dictated by the contradiction between the severity of demographic problems associated with falling birth rates, the huge number of families falling apart, the avalanche-like increase in the number of orphans with living parents, the growing number of cases of child abuse and lack of family training programs. , and especially young people, before the birth and upbringing of the child. Youth is the main human resource for the reproduction, preservation and improvement of the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the population of Ukraine, and the main source of education and personality formation of future citizens of independent Ukraine. That is why in recent years the family and youth policy of the state has been actively developed, which determines the mechanisms of social protection and support of young families, family upbringing, formation of conscious and responsible parenthood as conditions for harmonious development of the child. The essence of the concepts of fatherhood and conscious fatherhood is considered. Paternity is the blood relationship of parents to their child, which is determined on the basis of marriage documents and birth certificates and on the voluntary recognition of themselves as parents of a child born out of wedlock; parenthood is a holistic system of interrelated phenomena, which include: love, affection for children; normative principles of culture, parenting style and specific roles of parents, real behavior and attitudes of parents to children. A developed form of fatherhood is conscious fatherhood, which is the full assumption of responsibility for the process of conceiving and giving birth to healthy children. To define the essence of the concept of conscious parenthood, the term "awareness" is interpreted as a special characteristic of mental and intellectual actions of the individual, the ability of human consciousness to introspection of their own activities; awareness is an act of consciousness, where its subject is the intellectual activity of the person. Conscious parenting is defined as a person's awareness of his responsibility for the process of conception, birth, upbringing and development of a healthy child, which is based on the formation of cognitive, emotional and behavioral components of fatherhood to ensure the full development of the child.
