Abstract
Determining the content of the right to proper parental nurturing of children under the age of 14 within the framework of determining the procedure for its implementation and improving the effectiveness of legal regulation of relevant legal relations is an urgent scientific task. The solution to this problem is possible by defining the essence of the relevant subjective right by identifying the needs to be met by parents within the relevant interpersonal impact on a child, and the opportunities to ensure that these needs are met. Based on this analysis, it is proposed to understand the content of the child's rights through a system of powers to recognize the owner of a comprehensive personal intangible asset that mediates the satisfaction of needs in its best interests, through parents to acquire them through parental influence, use their responsibilities to meet their respective needs and demand protection.Key words: best interests of the child, parental nurturing, basic and higher needs of the child, care and development.
