The article reflects the content and results of the study of responsible parenthood (in particular, responsible fatherhood) among modern parents. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was made up of basic ideas in the field of studying the family as the most important social institution (works of M. Mead, D. Olson, K. Vitaker, A.Ya. Varga, Yu. Khamyalyaynen; V.N. Druzhinina, I. S. Kona, P. S. Lesgaft, A. S. Makarenko, S. Yu. Meshcheryakova, A. B. Orlov, K. D. Ushinsky, A. V. Chernikova and others); parenthood, as the most important social function implemented in the framework of family education (works by G.V. Burmenskaya, E.I. Isenina, I.S. Kona, E.V. Poptsova, E.O. Smirnova, A.S. Spivakovskaya, EG Eidemiller, etc.); motherhood and fatherhood as objective manifestations of parenthood (research by A.I. Antonov, A.Ya. Varga, V.N. Druzhinin, R.Zh. Mukhamedrahimova, L.F. Obukhova, R.V. Ovcharova, A.S. Spivakovskaya, V.V. Stolin, O.A. Shagraeva, L.B.Schneider and others). A generalized analysis of the work of scientists allows us to assume that responsible fatherhood, by which we tend to understand the balance of different styles, types, techniques and technologies of raising a child in integration with a high degree of trust in relations with him, the ability and desire to provide all the conditions necessary for his full , comprehensive and harmonious development, will be formed more efficiently and productively subject to the targeted implementation of the program of psychological and pedagogical support of this process a. The need to develop such a program to support the process of creating responsible paternity was confirmed by the results of our diagnostic study, the course and results of which are presented in this publication.
