The family plays a special role in human life, not only in the formation and satisfaction of spiritual needs, but also in the primary socialization of individuals. The purpose of the work is to identify the main features of family values in the context of family discourse. The article highlights the significance of instilling family values in young children through family discourse. The peculiarities of young children in the realization of family values are presented, and the role of the family in the formation of young children is defined. The research was based on scientific views, principles and theoretical concepts related to family discourse. In the article, the methods of content analysis, generalization, and description were used. The development of theoretical additions to the work on family values and discourse is the scientific significance of the study. The practical significance lies in the fact that the results of the study can be used in the development of special courses, in the preparation of pedagogical and methodological complexes. The main reason for describing the concept of family discourse and defining its content is that the problem of the family is characterised by a discursive effect on the activities of society. Based on national proverbs and sayings, the process of forming a family structure is consistently substantiated, the most important functional parameters of the family are emphasised, and family values are formulated and listed. Customs and traditions, proverbs, sayings do not have an educational effect on their own; they only have an educational effect under conditions where parents follow them as personal example in the family. The age characteristics of young children's perception of family values and the effects of family discourse on children's behaviour were investigated.
