When reading Blazej Kmieciak's book, the question arises: what are children's rights for? The answer to this question can be twofold. To protect them as a being as unique as any human being, or to protect other values such as the good of the family or the interest of society at the same time - the author himself states a certain discrepancy between values, writing that the rights of the child compete with the interests of the family and the state. This brings us to the heart of the problem, namely: the child is generally a member of a family based on a relationship of subordination of children to parents and an element of society - its future, the next generation. Hence the discussions around the overtones of the notion of parental authority, the doubts surrounding the introduction of the change in nomenclature, stemming from the desire to emphasise the importance of a different element in the relationship between child and parent - instead of authority, custody or responsibility.
