The need for cooperation beetween schools and parents and preventive activities and programs for children with behavioral problems

Problemi u ponašanju djece i mladih sve su prisutna pojava u osnovnim i srednjim školama, a za pravilan psiho-socijalni razvoj i odgoj djece, bitnu ulogu nakon roditelja ima škola. Rad se bavi suradnjom stručnih suranika i roditelja djece s problemima u ponašanju te preventivnim aktivnostima koje se provode u sklopu škole. Putem polustrukturiranog intervjua deset stručnih suradnika istaklo je pristupe u radu koji utječu na provedbu preventivnih programa i ukazalo na uzroke problema oko provedbe istih. Rezultati upućuju na nedostatk zaposlenih stručnih suradnika unutar škole i jačanje stručnog tima. Iz rezultata proizlazi zaključak kako je suradnja roditelja i stručnih suradnika otežana i nezadovoljavajuća te kako se kao preventivne aktivnosti u školama najčešće provode razgovori s učenicima i radionice. U radu se ističe potreba za organiziranim i sustavnim provođenjem preventivnih programa i radionica namijenjenih svim uzrastima i svim učenicima u školi. Istaknuta je potreba za uvođenjem socijalnih radnika kao stručnih suradnika u stručni tim škola.Behavioural problems present in children and teenagers are a common occurrence in elementary and high school environments. The schools themselves hold a crucial role and responsibility in enabling proper psychosocial development of children and play a key role in their upbringing. This paper deals with the collaboration between expert advisors and parents of children with behavioural problems, and addresses the preventive activities being carried out in the schools. Through semi-structured interviews, ten experts have elaborated on the approaches they use to implement preventive activities, and discussed the problems they have encountered during implementation. The results point out the lack of skilled staff within the school and a need to strengthen the expert team. The results also reveal that the cooperation between the parents and experts proves difficult and unsatisfactory, and that preventive activities are mostly conducted through conversations with students and workshops conducted at schools. This paper emphasises the fact that schools need an organised and systematic way to implement preventive programmes and workshops for children of all ages. Another key finding is the the need to introduce social workers as expert associates into school staff
