At an early stage of development, the child is infl uenced by the internal and external environment, hence the importance of supporting the child in its development on a multifaceted basis. The questionnaire survey was aimed at presenting parents' views on their impact on the psychophysical development of their children. The results of this study were carried out among the parents of the patients of the Chair and Clinic of Orthopedics and Orthodontics at the Poznan University of Medical Sciences. It should be emphasized that children spend a lot of time in classes, some of which do not favor their psychophysical development.

Key words: psychophysical development, parents, upbringing, care.
