Uloga oca u ranom djetinjstvu

Ovaj se rad bavi pojmom, definicijom te povijesnim pregledom promjena u shvaćanju odgoja i djetinjstva, a prati i razliĉite oblike obitelji ĉija se struktura promijenila pod razliĉitim utjecajima. Prikazana je i uloga roditelja, nekad i danas, u ţivotu jednog djeteta. Najprije, uloga i sve pozitivne strane imanja majke, a onda je, posebno naglašena uloga oca. Unutar najvaţnijeg poglavlja, o ulozi oca u ranom djetinjstvu, nalazi se nekoliko potpoglavlja koja redom objašnjavaju oĉevu ukljuĉenost, kao i razliĉite roditeljske stilove oĉeva te znaĉaj oĉeve figure u razvoju samopoštovanja i usvajanju rodnih uloga kod djeteta. Na samom kraju nalazi se potpogljavlje koje, najprije, u kratkim crtama govori o mišljenju društva o oĉevoj ulozi i posljedicama koje je na tu ulogu ostavilo dugogodišnje zanemarivanje iste i u istraţivanjima, ali i u svakodnevnom ţivotu. Također, sami kraj rada zaduţen je za opis modernog oca koji je aktivno ukljuĉen u ţivot obitelji i odgoj vlastitog djeteta. Takav se otac ne zamara podjelom na muško – ţenske poslove, prati razvoj djeteta i pokušava odgovoriti na sve njegove potrebe. Odgovoran otac sudjeluje u planiranju zaĉeća, a tijekom cijele trudnoće svojoj partnerici pruţa podršku. Suvremeni otac nije više samo hranitelj obitelji i ne vjeruje društvenim uvjerenjima da dijete u svojim prvim mjesecima ţivota treba samo majku, on zna da je jednako vaţan u djetetovom ţivotu jer, samo su tako, djetetu pruţeni idealni uvjeti za zdravi rast i cjelokupan razvoj. Dakle, spomenutim pregledom zakljuĉeno je da se od prvih zajednica, do danas, mnogo toga promijenilo, a da je, nekad preteţito, tradicionalna struktura obitelji prerasla u puno razliĉitih struktura u kojima majka više nije samo domaćica, dok otac zarađuje za obitelj.This paper deals with the concept, definition and historical overview of changes in the understanding of education and childhood, and it also monitors different forms of families whose structure has changed. The roles of parents in a child's life, in the past and nowadays, are presented. Firstly, the role and all the positive aspects of having a mother, and then, the role of the father especially. Within the most important chapter on the role of the father in early childhood, there are several sub-chapters that explain father's involvement as well as the different parenting styles of fathers and the importance of father figures in developing self-esteem and adopting gender roles in a child. At the very end there is a subchapter which consists of society’s opinions about the father's role. Also, the very end of this work is in charge of describing a modern father who is actively involved in the life of a family and raising his own child. The contemporary father is no longer just a family’s financial supporter and does not believe in the social convictions that a child should only have a mother in his first months of life; he knows it is equally important in his child’s childhood, and only so, the child is provided with the ideal conditions for healthy growth and overall development. Thus, it is concluded that since the first communities until today a lot has changed, and that the traditional structure of the family has developed into many different structures in which the mother is no longer just a housewife while the father is only the financial supporter
