| description | The possibility of improving parenting practice in raising children became a
very popular topic in the scientific literature during the last few decades.
The focus is on raising children at an early age and the problem is
thematised primarily from the psy discourse point of view. Within this
framework, a modern parenting culture is established, which reduces family
upbringing to dyadic parent-child interactions outside the context of social
structures and values. The aim of this paper is a critical analysis of the
pedagogical implications of contemporary parenting culture, considering two
key characteristics. The first refers to the conceptualisation of parenting
as a depersonalised individual competence. Raising children is understood as
an individual competence of achieving predefined outcomes of child
development, which neglects the complexity of education both as an
intergenerational and as a personal relationship. Another characteristic is
the scientification of parenting in the sense of referring to the evidence
of empirical scientific research and relying on the so-called parental
determinism model. Raising children is becoming a scientific endeavour, and
parenting is the most important “profession” that shapes the future of the
child and society. Neglecting the socio-historical dimension of education in
terms of structural and ethical frameworks, articulated by the context and
the goal of upbringing, makes the pedagogical voice irrelevant in the
contemporary culture of parenting. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, Grant no. 179060: Models of evaluation and
