It publishes original research papers by Polish and foreign authors, constituting a contribution to the humanistic-social discourse on the family, being both research reports and theoretical treatises. The published texts belong mainly to such research disciplines as the history of upbringing and pedagogy of the family, however, more and more often representatives of other sub-disciplines of pedagogy, as well as psychology, sociology, archaeology, philosophy, philology, law, and health sciences or physical culture express their opinions in the pages of “Family Upbringing”.
The idea of establishing a periodical with a nationwide - and then international - range, which would take up the broadly understood problems of the family about the past and present, was conducted at the beginning of 2010. The initiators intended to integrate representatives of various scientific disciplines around the title upbringing in the family.

The following aims have been set for the Journal:

• to publish research papers by representatives of various research disciplines who address the issues of family, upbringing, and education, and whose texts bring new content to science and propose contemporary practical solutions,
• to treat the Journal as a tribune of academic discourse,

• to exchange historical and contemporary thought on the family between Polish and foreign centres,
• to create a field for the perception of historical thought and past practice for contemporary theoretical and practical solutions relating to the family: its support, assistance, and care,
• to compare theoretical and practical achievements in the field of upbringing in the family in the historical and contemporary context in different countries,
• to promote the achievements of Polish theoretical and practical thought in the field of upbringing in the family in the circle of Polish theoreticians and practitioners and the international arena,
