Abstract
Modern childhood depends on various processes that are formed under the influence of emerging trends around the world: political, social, economic, cultural, demographic, information. Today, global challenges and trends affect many factors that affect childhood. The economic, social, and political development of the country is largely determined by the «quality» (health, education, social adaptation, upbringing) of the younger generation. A lot depends on the system of social values and guidelines, morality and spirituality, and the cultural level.
The very concept of «childhood» is analyzed in many foreign and domestic works, studied in various studies, state support programs. However, this problem requires a comprehensive solution. Under the influence of modern conditions: information saturation and accessibility, googling of consciousness, changes in family relations, social and economic problems, health, and a pandemic – it becomes impossible to replicate, as before, the parental experience «in its pure form».
This article presents the results of research conducted according to the author's methods: the study of issues of marriage and family relations, health and a healthy lifestyle, the attitude of children and youth to information and communication technologies. All these studies studied the attitude of children and young people to modern problems of society. The methods and tools used have been tested, and the results of the author's research are presented not only at various conferences but also in the Government of the Moscow Region at a meeting of the Coordinating Council for Improving the Demographic Situation in the Ministry of Defense under the Ministry of Social Development. These results help to understand exactly what socio-economic problems exist now and may arise in the future in this field. This is extremely important, since it is in childhood that the foundations of the future personality are laid, the upbringing and formation of a person – the future individual of society-takes place. Complex research of childhood, evaluation of its quality and potential helps to make competent and effective state decisions
