Abstract

The family is the basic educational environment for children. When speaking about upbringing, we also have in mind religious and patriotic education. The family home is the place where a child acquires first religious and patriotic patterns. However, the condition for arousing the correct religiosity or patriotic attitude in children is also the maturity of these values in the parents, who pass on certain, specific patterns of conduct. Love of the homeland is strengthened and shaped by the national and religious upbringing of the child. Introducing the child to the world of values is an inseparable element of their upbringing, helping to preserve their own cultural and national distinctiveness. The most important place in the hierarchy of values has always been homeland, family, Catholic religion, history of Poland, tradition and national symbols, while the moral traits most valued were patriotism, courage, diligence and readiness to make sacrifices in the name of the highest values.
