| Abstract | Obitelji današnjice uvelike odmiču od tradicionalnog shvaćanja obitelji. Društvenim i
demografskim promjenama dolazi do pojave novih struktura obitelji te se sukladno s
tim mijenjaju i uloge roditelja. Ovaj se rad bavi upravo promjenama koje donosi
suvremeno doba, kako u shvaćanju obitelji i roditeljstva, tako i u shvaćanju majčinstva
i očinstva. Majčinstvo, iako vrlo važno, u ovom radu nije naglašeno. Naglasak je
stavljen na suvremeno očinstvo, odnosno promjenjivo očinstvo kojim se želi dodatno
osvijestiti na važnost očeva u razvoju i odgoju djeteta. U pregledu tradicionalnog
shvaćanja očinstva i suvremenog očinstva, vidljive su velike razlike u poimanju
roditeljske uloge oca. Suvremeni očevi svoju novu ulogu hrabro prihvaćaju te je
kreiraju prema vlastitim vrijednostima i stavovima, a ne prema društvenim
očekivanjima. S druge strane, javlja se i koncept „erozije očinstva“ koji opisuje
neuspješno prilagođavanje očeva na nove društvene zahtjeve. Kroz pregled
karakteristika suvremenog očinstva zaključujemo da je ono ravnopravno majčinstvu
te da sve više uključuje napuštanje posla i preuzimanje brige za dijete. Jednako tako,
naglasak se stavlja i na ulogu oca u razvoju i odgoju djeteta te se kroz očevu
uključenost, odnosno odsutnost mogu vidjeti koliko je njegova uloga važna. Važnost
očeve uključenosti pokrenula je nova istraživanja kojima je utvrđen značajan,
kompleksan i multidimenzionalan doprinos očeva, koji je po važnosti za razvoj djeteta
jednak majčinom. Kontekst u kojem se odvija suvremeno očinstvo pred očeve
postavlja mnogo izazova te samim time i potrebu za drugačijim oblikom odgovornosti.
Zbog toga je bitno jačanje kompetencije očeva, a pogotovo onih samohranih.
Spomenutim pregledom zaključeno je da je otac jedna od bitnih karika za zdrav,
siguran i optimalan dječji rast, razvoj i odgoj. |
| Abstract (english) | Today's families are moving far away from the traditional understanding of the family.
Social and demographic changes lead to the emergence of new family structures and,
accordingly, changes of parents roles. This paper deals with the changes brought about
by the modern age, both in the understanding of family and parenthood, and in the
understanding of motherhood and fatherhood. Motherhood, although very important,
is not emphasized in this paper. Emphasis is placed on modern fatherhood, regarding
variable fatherhood, which seeks to further raise awareness of the importance of
fathers in the development and upbringing of the child. In reviewing the traditional
understanding of fatherhood and modern fatherhood, great differences are detected in
the notion of the parental role of the father. Modern fathers bravely accept their new
role and create it according to their own values and attitudes, and not according to
social expectations. On the other hand, there is the concept of "paternal erosion" which
describes the unsuccessful adaptation of fathers to new social demands. Through a
review of the characteristics of modern fatherhood, we conclude that it is equal to
motherhood and that it increasingly includes leaving work and taking care of the child.
Equally, the emphasis is placed on the role of the father in the development and
upbringing of the child, and through the father's involvement or absence, one can see
how important his role is. The importance of father involvement has initiated new
research that has identified a significant, complex and multidimensional contribution
of fathers, which is equal in importance to the development of the child to the mother.
The context in which modern fatherhood takes place poses many challenges to fathers
and thus the need for a different form of responsibility. That's why it's important to
strengthen the competence of fathers, especially single ones. The mentioned
examination concluded that the father is one of the important links for healthy, safe
and optimal child growth, development and upbringing. |
