„Wychowanie w rodzinie” (“Family Upbringing”) is a journal dedicated to the problems of the family in the historical and the contemporary approach. The published original articles – written by authors from Poland and other countries who discuss research results as well as theories – constitute a voice in humanities and social sciences discourse on the family. Although the majority of the published papers belong to such branches of social sciences as history of education and pedagogy of the family it is increasingly often that the work of scholars of other sub-disciplines of pedagogy as well as psychology, sociology, archaeology, literary studies, linguistics, and law is presented.

The idea of establishing a journal of a national and – subsequently – international scope presenting a broad approach to the problems of the family in relation to the present and the past originated in the institute of history of education at the Instytut Pedagogiki (Department of Pedagogy) of the University of Wrocław. The intention of the originators was to integrate the representatives of various scientific disciplines around the subject of family upbringing.
The following aims of the journal have been formulated:

• publishing those articles of the representatives of various scientific disciplines concerned with the problems of the family that introduce new content to the sciences and propose practical solutions
• treating the journal as a forum of scientific discourse
• providing information on the research conducted on this subject
• exchange of reflections on the historical and the contemporary family between scientific centres in Poland and abroad
• creating a ground for the reception of historical thought and practices of the past in contemporary theoretical and practical solutions related to support, help, and care for the family
• comparison of the publications on the theory and the practice of family upbringing in the historical and the contemporary context in various countries
• national and international promotion of the achievements of Polish scholars of the theory and the practise of family upbringing
• integration of scientists and practitioners in Poland and abroad.

The original editorial board of the journal included prof. dr hab. Stefania Walasek, prof. dr hab. Alicja Szerląg, dr Leszek Albański, dr Ewa Jurczyk-Romanowska, mgr Stanisław Gola.
The first printed edition of the „Wychowanie w rodzinie” journal was published in the beginning of 2011.

In 2013 the journal was entered into the List B of academic periodicals of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education with a score of 6 points. This score was maintained in the following year. However, in 2015 the journal after another evaluation by the Ministry was awarded a score of 10 points. Furthermore, the journal is indexed in numerous repositories and databases (Index Copernicus, DOAJ, CEJSH, CEEOL, BazHum, POLindex, etc.).

During the years 2011-2015 the publishing of consequent volumes of the periodical was an effect of cooperation of the two mentioned academic institutions. Since January 2016, the journal is affiliated by the Department of History of Education of the Institute of Pedagogy of the University of Wrocław.
