A Child\u27s Place Attachment

V diplomskem delu smo proučevali selitve predšolskih otrok in sicer njihove odzive oziroma doživljanje procesa selitve. Navezanost lahko označimo kot odnos med otrokom in določeno osebo, ki je z njim v vsakodnevnem stiku (največkrat so to starši). Razvija se že na podlagi prirojenih signalov, ki jih pošilja otrok in daje staršem vedeti, da nekaj potrebuje. Jasna, specifična navezanost se prične kazati že pri približno osmem mesecu otrokove starosti, najbolj pomembna za njegov razvoj pa je varna navezanost. Otrok je v času svojega življenja v vsakodnevnem stiku z okoljem, kar pomeni, da se lahko naveže tudi na kraj bivanja. Najboljši pokazatelj otrokove navezanosti na kraj je njegov odziv oziroma doživljanje procesa selitve. Naš primarni cilj je ugotoviti značilnosti zadnje selitve predšolskih otrok in kako predšolski otroci doživljajo selitev. Z analizo podatkov, ki smo jih zbrali z anketnim vprašalnikom, smo ugotovili, da je večina predšolskih otrok pozitivno doživljala selitev. Otroci niso iskali bližine s starim bivališčem, protest ob selitvi ni bil prisoten, prav tako ne negativni čustveni odzivi. Do zastoja ali nazadovanja v razvoju otrok ni prišlo. Ugotovitve, ki smo jih pridobili med pisanjem diplomskega dela, smo podrobneje predstavili v sklepnem delu.In the thesis, we studied the responses of preschool children to a change of residence, namely how they experience the process of moving. Attachment can be described as a relationship between a child and a particular person who is in daily contact with him or her (most often parents). It is already developed based on the innate signals being sent by a child, letting the parents know that he or she needs something. A clear, specific attachment can be observed already at around the age of eight months, while the most important for a child’s development is safe attachment. A child is in daily contact with the environment during his or her life, which means that he or she can also become attached to the place of residence. The best indicator of a child\u27s attachment to a place is his or her response to the process of moving, namely how the child experiences it. Our primary aim is to identify the characteristics of the last change of residence of preschool children and how the latter experience moving. Analysing the data we collected with a survey, we determined that most preschool children had a positive experience of moving. The children did not look for closeness to the old place of residence, there was no protest at the move and no negative emotional responses. There was no delay or setback in the development of children. The findings we obtained while writing the thesis are presented in more detail in the final part
