Abstract

Ovaj se rad bavi pedagogovim razumijevanjem fenomena helikopter roditeljstva, pod kojim se podrazumijevaju specifične prakse odgoja djeteta obilježene razvojno neprimjerenim ponašanjima roditelja spram djeteta. Ovakvo roditeljstvo počiva na prerevnim težnjama roditelja da osiguraju djetetov uspjeh i sreću, reduciranju potencijalno rizičnih situacija za dijete, preveniranju iskustva neuspjeha kod djeteta, kao i obraćanju ekstremne pažnje na dijete i njegovu dobrobit. Stalna dostupnost roditelja, briga oko djetetovih relativno sigurnih okolina te nefleksibilnost u odgoju još su neke od karakteristika roditelja koji svojim ponašanjima stvaraju kulturu hiperroditeljstva. Cilj empirijskog dijela rada, zasnovanog na kvalitativnoj istraživačkoj paradigmi, bio je opisati koliko su pedagozi zaposleni u ustanovama ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja te osnovnim i srednjim školama upoznati s fenomenom helikopter roditeljstva, kako interpretiraju njegov utjecaj na dijete, roditelja i njihov međusobni odnos te kako fenomenu pristupaju u svom neposrednom radu s roditeljima. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju kako pedagozi uviđaju da je riječ o paradoksalnom pristupu odgoju koji, iako provođen u najboljem interesu djeteta, nerijetko izaziva suprotne odgojne ishode od željenih. Pedagozi upozoravaju na neke od posljedica helikopter roditeljstva na dijete kao što su smanjena djetetova autonomija, slab razvoj samostalnosti i neovisnosti kod djeteta, kao i odgođeno učenje odgovornosti. Zaključni dio rada promišlja o implikacijama i ograničenjima provedenoga istraživanja.

Abstract (english)

This paper talks about pedagogue's understanding of helicopter parenting, which rests on specific child-rearing practices that characterize developmentally inappropriate parental behaviours towards the child. This kind of parenting rests on a zealous aspirations of parents to ensure their child's success and happiness and involves reducing potentially risky situations for the child, preventing the experience of failure, as well as paying extreme attention to the child and its wellbeing. Permanent parents availability, care for their child's relatively safe environments, and inflexibility in upbringing are some characteristics of the parents who, through their behaviors, create a culture of hyper-parenting while wanting all the best for their child, and that their child is the best in everything. The goal of empirical study, based on qualitative research paradigm, was to describe the extent to which pedagogues that are employed in the institutions of early and pre-school education, as well as in primary and secondary schools are familiar with the phenomenon of helicopter parenting, how they interpret its impact on the child, the parent and their relation and how they approach the phenomenon in their immediate work with parents. Results show that pedagogues realize it is paradoxical approach to upbringing, done in the best interests of the child, but often causes opposite educational outcomes than desired. Pedagogues alert to some repercussions of helicopter parenting on child like reduced child autonomy, inhibition development of independence and delayed learning of responsibility.
