Parenting styles and a preschool- aged child´s upbringing

Roditeljstvo je niz kompleksnih procesa i zadaća u kojima je cilj odgojiti dijete u uspješnu, sretnu, samopouzdanu i zadovoljnu osobu koja će postati član društvene zajednice. Obzirom na dimenzije roditeljske topline i nadzora, razlikujemo četiri roditeljska odgojna stila: autoritativni, autoritarni, permisivni i zanemarujući. Novija literatura navodi helikoptersko roditeljstvo i povezujuće roditeljstvo, stil u kojem se teži uspostaviti kvalitetan odnos sa djetetom u kojem nema pobjednika ni gubitnika. Potrebno je balansirati između odgojnih stilova ovisno o dječjem karakteru, karakteru roditelja, okolini i prilikama. Svako dijete je različito pa trebamo individualno pristupati svakom djetetu. Dijete će pri odrastanju imitirati, modelirati roditelja. Za djetetov kvalitetan razvoj bitna je igra u kojoj uživa, stvara prijateljstva, jača empatiju, izražava emocije, usavršava interakciju, razvija maštu, vježba govor i uči poštovati pravila.Parenting is a set of complex processes and tasks in which the goal is to educate a child in to a successfull, happy, self-confident and a happy person who will become a member of the community. There are two dimensions of parent behavior: parental acceptance, warmth or support and parental control. We can identify four parental educational styles: authorative, authoritarian, permissive and neglected. We can identify helicopter parenting and attachment parenting, a style where parents establish a quality relationship with a child without any winners or losers. Balancing between parenting styles depends on the child's character, the character of the parent and the environment. Each child is different so we have to approach each child individually. A child will imitate their parents while growing up. Playing is important for child because playing makes him happy, child create friendships, strengthens empathy, expresses emotions, improves interaction, develops imagination, practices speech and learns to respect the rules
