Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the results of a survey on the knowledge of parenting at the birth of a first child, in particular responses regarding parents’ self-evaluation. The author analyzes parents’ sources of knowledge about parenting and causes of the lack of knowledge. The survey highlights the need for raising pedagogical culture and social awareness in Poland. Efforts have been undertaken to achieve this goal. However, there has been no organized, efficient program involving all parents.
