The discussion concerning family upbringing the most often takes into account only those inquiries which are related to the impacts of parents in relation to a child, and it avoids the wide possibilities of feedback interactions when a child becomes an inspiration for parents to improve themselves. This article presents the available areas of activity which parents can use in their pursue to self-improvement. The motive for such actions is not only parents’ concern of the welfare of a child, but also the desire for self-development. Both motives should be harmonized, and never divergent.
