The paper examines the idea of natural education. When we are born we need to be educated in order to survive. For this reason, the education is the most important act through that children need in order to acquire certain values and skills. Education is a process of adopting and perfecting social and moral values. Social, because man is a being that develops precisely in society through relationships with other people, and moral because they enable him to distinguish between good from evil. When raising a child, it is necessary to allow him to have the human freedom that nature gave him, because only in this way will we enable him to be independent in the future. This way of education called natural, and it is Jean-Jacques Rousseau who is the originator, as he presents this thoughts on the subject in the work "Emile, or On education. Freedom and equality are key items for natural education, and civilized society's rules and restrictions are undesirable. There are several negative influences that can harm an individual’s common sense and it is therefore crucial to know how to behave contrary to these influences and act properly. The most important role here is played by educators and parents.
