The article deals with the gender analysis of the verbalization of moral and ethical homilies in family relationships, presented in V. Nestaiko’s tetralogy “Amazing Adventures in the Forest School”, which helps to form the basis of raising children in a literary context. Traditional and new approaches to the formation of equal intersex relations in primary education are considered, where a critical understanding of gender stereotypes plays an important role. The priority role of the teacher in the selection of literary material that takes into account the interests of both sexes, forming in primary education students the correct idea of gender equality and family roles, which contributes to the upbringing of children without gender prejudices and ensures the harmonious development of the personality, is noted. Attention is focused on the peculiarities of the perception of male and female roles in modern society, which is presented in the creative work of V. Nestaiko. The role of the family atmosphere in the formation of the characters’ worldview is examined, which demonstrates the harmony between family upbringing and social values. It is investigated how, through the language of the characters, in particular dialogues, monologues and narratives, V. Nestaiko reveals values that contribute to the formation of moral education in the family: positive models of behavior, the upbringing of respect, mutual support and love between family members. The problem of gender socialization of children is investigated, the significant influence of family stereotypes, historically and culturally established, on the formation of ideas about gender roles is emphasized. The analysis of the linguistic material confirmed that the works of V. Nestaiko both demonstrate established gender ideas and contribute to the destruction of these stereotypes through the universal human qualities of the characters: honesty, kindness, responsibility and empathy. It is determined that the tetralogy of V. Nestaiko is not only a vivid example of children’s literature, but also a valuable source for understanding the pedagogical aspects of the formation of children’s morality.
