The article addresses the issue of upbringing through everyday life in the family in the context of the work of Professor Teresa Kukołowicz, an outstanding educator who contributed to the reactivation of pedagogical studies at the Catholic University of Lublin and for many years was the head of the Institute of Pedagogy at KUL. T. Kukołowicz took up the issues of family life in the spirit of Christian personalism. She emphasized the huge role of upbringing in everyday life not only for children in the family, but also for all family members. The primary educational task of parents is to bring up children to know and love God, to include them in the Church, to develop their faith and to develop the children's capacity as persons. Education through everyday life in the family consists of: the presence of parents, testimony of everyday life, frequent and honest dialogue and conversation, family table as a meeting place, both everyday and festive domestic customs and symbols in the family, taking responsibility and shared responsibility, as well as caring for the common good.
