Personal spirituality does not develop on its own. Primarily, it depends on the attention that the state gives to education and upbringing. If the state considers developing personal spirituality as a priority policy task and pays sufficient attention to effectively using the factors and means for its development, then this complex task can be solved. Otherwise, the number of people with poor spirituality in society will increase.
Enhancing personal spirituality primarily enables each individual to achieve high perfection, understand their identity, and establish their sense of self — in short, to live with true human dignity. A spiritually poor person lacks such wealth. Therefore, achieving high spirituality is a vital necessity for every person.
Every state is also interested in raising personal spirituality. Because only in conditions where spiritually elevated individuals make up the majority of the population can peace, kindness, love, cooperation, and unity among citizens and nations be firmly established, and the state steadily develop. These two vital necessities require effective use of the factors and means for developing personal spirituality.
There are many factors and means to develop personal spirituality. One of them is the relationship between parents and children.
From the ancient times to the present, one of the wonderful values of the Uzbek people, which never loses its importance, is the high respect, honor, and reverence children show to their parents. There is no one more loving, dear, and respected for a child than their parents. Parents are the support and inexhaustible wealth of children.
It is gratifying that values such as respect for elders, compassion for the young, reverence for parents, and love for children — which dignify a person as a human being and make them morally and spiritually beautiful and perfect — are beginning to take root in people’s hearts, especially among the youth.
The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan defines the human duties and responsibilities of children towards society, family, and parents based on the main ideas and principles of our national values. Chapter 14 of our Code is entirely dedicated to family issues, and Articles 76, 77, 78, 79, and 80 fully specify the rights and obligations of parents and children.
