Abstract

The aim of the article was to analyze the theoretical relationship between contemporary media personalities and the upbringing of a child. The considerations refer to the concepts of the "significant Other" and the authority, including the media authority. At the same time, it was emphasized that the concept of an authority is very much debatable today. The next part of the article describes difficulties associated with raising a child in a world immersed in the media. In order to achieve a certain balance, after analyzing the products, examples were given of media personalities that could play the role of a "significant Other" or a media authority that could be good for contemporary children.
