<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">In this elaboration four important existential issues were outlined: self-respect, subjectivism identity and puberty in the context of education and upbringing.From the philosophical side subjectivism and self-respect are ontologically ascribed to every human being, whereas the sense of self-respect and subjectivism develop and affect human being’s identity. That is why the sense of self-respect and subjectivism are very important spheres of educational and pedagogical influence. In this elaboration the sense of subjectivism and self-respect as well as the development of identity refer to the period of puberty especially to its first years, time which has special significance for every human being’s life. Young person makes an attempt to function in the grown-ups world but without any individual experience. He seeks his way of life. In this period the pupil is controversial, critical, with his behavior opposes to social rules. His attempt to create his outlook on life, own ideas, reception of the truths of faith often opposes to the grown up world. Pupil, who becomes grown up, distances from parents, teachers and form-masters – he learns how to be independent. Features named above are normal during the growth and development. All of us went through this. Familiarity with human being’s development and his very important part namely puberty helps teachers and parents – its significance is unquestionable. Thanks to this knowledge they can plan precisely their educational and pedagogical actions. In this way teachers and parents can influence proper development of every pupil’s personality and because of this achieve their own pedagogical success.</abstract>

Ability is defined as a complex of innate predispositions and abilities that in favorable conditions enable the student to achieve significant successes in a certain type of activity. In this sense, the creation of educators fosters the gifting of life and educational space. The authors present an aesthetic approach to realizing the specific educational needs of a talented child who has been developing dynamically in Ukraine in recent decades. Ability is treated as a phenomenon of achieving a special level of development of mental and emotional processes, manifesting itself especially in the child’s movement, sensory, perceptual responses to the surrounding world.Tutor in the work with gifted children should be a coordinator of development of his abilities, moderator of creative situations. It must also give the child an individual development trajectory. Tutor’s task is to lead a talented child into a „field of creative achievements”, where he will have the opportunity to perceive the ideal cultural patterns of relation to the world and to carry out his own creative attempts based on personal impressions and fascinations.An algorithm for individual tutoring has been proposed, which aims to provide a child capable aesthetic and educational environment based on creative correlation with nature.

Parents as tutors for the development and education of a child

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">All societies of our civilization are growing old, people live longer and longer and there are more and more old people. It results in the fact that problems of old people, either individual or of social aspects, are getting one of the crucial tasks for the society nowadays. In fact, there are no grounds to envy or to feel compassion for old people. The old man is a fully normal man, only the old one. We are all growing old…whether we want it or not – and we can only wonder, how it will be, when we get old… Without any doubt, it is important to live as long as possible, but not less important is the quality of life, physical and mental condition, good mood and the most of all – the good health. The old age, may not be a flow of happiness, but it of course has its good prospects and can remain positive. The aim of that study is the attempt to show the status of a man in the process of ageing and all aspects connected with this process. The study should allow us not only to perceive the positive aspects of old age, but also to acquaint ourselves with the mechanism of growing old and show us how to reduce the instinctive fear of growing old and what to do to make this period of our lives bearable and stately. What does it mean to grow old? How does it feel like to be old? How have people tried to prevent the process of ageing in different cultures in the past centuries? How it is being done nowadays? What are the advantages of growing old? The attempt to find the answers for the above mentioned questions is the aim of that study. Its keynote is paradoxically quite optimistic and helps us to stay calm in the face of this inevitable fate we all are going to meet with.</abstract>
