Abstract
Introduction. The desire of women to combine a professional career with the upbringing of children and to accelerate the development of a child with awareness of the normative stages of development are the characteristic features of modern motherhood. These traits manifest themselves differently in different socio-cultural conditions. The set scientific task was to trace how modern trends affect the ideas of raising children among mothers living in rural areas of Azerbaijan, which is overall a considerably unexplored problem. Methods. The research sample consists of 411 mothers of preschool children living in rural areas of Azerbaijan. Diagnostic material includes a questionnaire of parental beliefs about parenting (E. Hembacher, M. C. Frank), along with the author's questionnaire aimed at obtaining additional information about attitudes to motherhood and expectations from a child. Results. It has been established that Azerbaijani women are more focused on being wives and mothers, rather than engaging in professional activities. In matters of parenting, mothers trust older family members and specialists and do not trust Internet resources. The most preferred qualities for their children are: patriotism, respect for the elders and the desire to improve education and cultural level. The statements shared by the majority of Azerbaijani mothers living in rural areas regarding the upbringing of children are the following: "it is important to teach a child to obey and to respect elders"; "it is important to give children the opportunity to explore the world"; "it is necessary to read to a child and talk to them, even while they themselves cannot speak yet"; "parents should comfort children when they are scared or upset" and "parents should know what their child likes and dislikes", etc. Discussion of the results. Azerbaijani mothers of 3-7-year-old children living in rural areas do not seek to force the development of a child and are aimed at fulfilling their family roles. They have basic, but sometimes incomplete knowledge about the peculiarities of the development of preschool children.
