The Impact of Family Education on Child Development

Suvremeno društvo i stručnjaci znaju puno toga o odgoju djece. No, danas je, više nego ikad, teško pronaći ispravan put u odgojnim procesima. Obitelji se suočavaju s velikim utjecajem medija, populističkih odgojnih metoda i teorija kojima se nastoji stvoriti idealno okruženje u kojem će se razvijati dijete. Sve to zbunjuje roditelje i čini ih frustriranima u odgojnim nastojanjima te u pronalasku najboljeg rješenja u formiranju ličnosti svojeg djeteta. Pritom se često zaboravlja da dijete traži sigurnost, toplinu doma, ljubav, pažnju i podršku odraslih. Također, nerijetko se odgoj previše prepušta utjecaju medija. Roditelji danas veliki dio vremena provode na poslu i okupirani drugim obvezama te nastoje dio svoje odgojne odgovornosti prepustiti televiziji, igricama i sličnim tehnološkim dostignućima. Navedeni pristup stvara otuđenost i može ostaviti trajne posljedice na dijete. Stoga je važno da se odgoj temelji na interakciji, a ne na tehnološkim mogućnostima današnjice.Modern society and the experts know a lot about raising children. But today, more than ever, it is difficult to find the correct path in the educational processes. Families are faced with a large influence of the media, popular educational methods and theories which attempt to create the ideal surroundings in which child will develop. All this confuses parents and makes them frustrated in educational efforts and in finding the best solution in forming the personality of their child. Therefore it is often forgotten that the child seeks security, loving home, attention and adult support. Also, education is often greately left to the influence of the media. Today parents spend great deal of time at work and are occupied with other obligations and tend to leave a part of their educational responsibilities to television, games, and similar technological achievements. This approach creates above alienation and can leave lasting effects on child. It is therefore important that the education is based on the interaction, not the technological possibilities of today
