Educators and parents - partners in upbringing

U ovom radu govori se o suradnji i razvoju partnerstva odgojitelja i roditelja. Svaka od zajednica kojoj dijete pripada ima svoju kulturu i vrijednosti. Pripadnici tih zajednica mogu naići na razne prepreke u razvoju partnerskih odnosa te je od ključne važnosti za odgoj djeteta premostiti ih. Suradnjom roditelja i odgojitelja te njezinim oblicima gradi se partnerstvo kao krajnji cilj. Polazište je otvorena i dvosmjerna komunikacija kao najvažniji čimbenik uz postupno uključivanje roditelja u aktivnosti te rad odgojno-obrazovne ustanove kao ravnopravnih partnera. Osim što navedeno potiče roditelje na razvijanje partnerskih odnosa ujedno im stvara osjećaj veće uključenosti u život djeteta izvan doma. Svakako su neizostavni čimbenici odnosa i sama djeca kao aktivni sudionici partnerstva, a temeljni cilj kojem svi teže je sama dobrobit djeteta. Kvalitetan pristup odgojitelja roditeljima i obrnuto stvorit će temelj za stvaranje partnerstva. Svakodnevnim radom na vlastitoj komunikaciji i izgradnji odnosa postiže se temelj za optimalan rast, razvoj i odgoj djeteta u odgojno-obrazovnoj ustanovi, a to je partnerstvo.This paper discusses the cooperation and development of partnerships between educators and parents. Each of the communities to which the child belongs has its own culture and values. Members of these communities may encounter various obstacles in the development of partnerships and it is crucial for the upbringing of the child to overcome them. Through the cooperation of parents and educators and its forms, a partnership is built as the ultimate goal. The starting point is open and two-way communication as the most important factor with the gradual involvement of parents in activities and the work of the educational institution as equal partners. In addition to encouraging parents to develop partnerships, it also creates a sense of greater involvement in the child's life outside the home. Certainly, the children themselves are indispensable factors in the relationship as active participants in the partnership, and the fundamental goal that everyone strives for is the well-being of the child. A quality approach of educators to parents and vice versa will create a foundation for creating a partnership. Through daily work on one's own communication and building relationships, the foundation for optimal growth, development and upbringing of a child in an educational institution is achieved, and that is partnership
