We need to agree on the terms of what notorious "traditional values" mean to us. "And it turns out that a family is not always complete, there are many healthy children - this is a good indicator, because such a family can live outside the rules: give birth, take care, teach at home. That is, to be outside the control of the system. This option for our government is not traditional at all. Even this question clearly gives the answer:
"The whole problem is that the state and the living families have completely different understandings of "traditional values": for officials, "tradition" means paternalism and control. The state is ready to help families with many children, but only under one condition: you must be a built-in component of the system. Normal school with registration, mandatory vaccinations, clinic registration - all according to one state standard. For autonomous parents, "tradition" is family sovereignty. It is the father's and mother's right to decide for themselves how to give birth, how to take care of and what to teach their children, without the supervision of guardianship and the Ministry of Education. As soon as a family chooses its path (home education, home birth, life without unnecessary interventions), it falls out of the eyes of the departments. For a bureaucrat, it is not about "preserving the way of life", but the loss of the ability to control. Hence the constant attempts to tighten the screws.
The paradox is that true protection of family values is impossible without respecting parents' freedom of choice and the right to non-interference in private life. ".
