Empress Catherine II of Russia could not bring up her son Pavel I on her own, and she was not involved in raising her son under the instructions of her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, according to the old Russian customs. It is said that there was no other way than the young woman to watch and endure the fact that she did not do something worthy. In 1862, as soon as she became the queen after making a revolution in the palace, she said, "My son is ill and will not recover his mind, because this is the result of upbringing, I will not make my grandchildren like this." His "Instructions on Education", which he skillfully put forward the educational method, has remained as a document in the amount of wonderful teaching on raising a healthy individual, which is a combination of strictness, patience, creativity and freedom. This educational instruction contains 126 Russian folk proverbs and 2 fairy tales. Although modern psychologists disagree with some of these guidelines, it is undeniable that many of them are still useful today.
