| Annotation: | The article emphasizes the importance of preserving and strengthening traditional Russian spiritual and moral values as a counteraction to destructive ideology and ensuring Russia’s national security. Particular attention among the values is paid to a strong family as a micro-model of society and its sustainable unit, which provides biological and social and cultural reproduction of mankind, spiritual recovery of society and strengthening of the state. The article characterizes a number of problems of the modern family as a social institution: the growing number of divorces; the small number of children; the spread of the voluntary childfree ideology in society; and the phenomenon of social orphanhood. In order to reduce these negative trends in society and strengthen the family as a social institution, it is proposed to use the educational potential of Christian teachings in the process of family education of younger schoolchildren. Its choice as one of the means of solving the problem is based on the ideas and positions of leading modern scientists and representatives of the Church. It is emphasized that scientific and religious knowledge not only do not contradict each other, but on the contrary, in synergy they significantly increase the effectiveness of the process of family education of children and youth. The importance of expansion of the educator’s pedagogical consciousness and acceptance of the spirituality dimension (Sh. A. Amonashvili) in solving the tasks in this area of work with younger students is noted. The ways of solving the indicated problem are offered: increase of competence of primary education pedagogues on use of potential of Christian teachings in work with children and their parents; organization of work with parents [creation of parental community “Spiritual Revival of a Family” (area “Christian Bases of Marriage and Family”)]; organization of work with younger schoolchildren on formation of their ideas about a strong family as a spiritual and moral value. | ||
