Materials and methods. Review and analysis of the literature on the subject. Results and conclusions. The text presents and points to the importance of the sense of freedom, subjectivity, creativity, the need to trigger the child’s activity, awareness and vigilance in this process, the need for continuous mediation and dialogue through the scope of identity individually shaped with the scope inherited in the family and socially conditioned outside the family. Numerous examples of the formation of a child’s identity as an ideological obligatory construct in the context of family values, expectations, and institutional norms were presented and analyzed, emphasizing in particular the problem of individual needs and aspirations. Attention was paid to the effect of mediation and dialogue between the scopes of identity and the related dilemmas and educational challenges, the need to support the identity potential of the child, implementation to reflectivity, and triggering interrogative thinking.
