From time immemorial, society has been characterized by a specific set of values, the system
of which acts as a high level of regulation.Value systems are formed and transformed in the
historical development of society.In each society, the value system is determined by the sociocultural, historical, political, cultural, economic conditions of its development, trends in social
dynamics, the specifics of a particular period of functioning of society with its difficulties and
prospects.The system of values consists of three elements - universal, cultural and individual.This
article is aimed at considering methodological approaches to the study of the education of modern
youth on the basis of family values, which is included in the element of individual values.The
family is one of the main life values for people all over the world and as a system is characterized
by the presence of connections and relationships (marital, consanguineous and others) between its
constituent elements (family members) and manifests its integrity with an indissoluble unity with
the environment (sociocultural reality).Modern youth is going through the process of active
formation and development in the family, therefore, in the process of adaptation to the rapidly
changing sociocultural reality, they use the system of family values, adapting it to modern
conditions.The axiological, personality-activity, gender approaches were also methodological
guidelines in the upbringing of the attitude to family values among modern youth.Thus, family
values and trends characterizing the state of the family are significant social indicators that educate
today's youth.
