  • Parents' perceptions on early childhood independence in self-care and doing chores [Elektronski vir]
    Ograjšek, Sabina ; Laure, Maruša, 1994-
    The child's independence is the goal of educational action, as it is a quality that parents want their child to develop. Its development begins in early childhood, and parents play an important role. ... Consequently, in our paper we focused on parents' perceptions of their child's independence in self-care activities and doing chores. The research, in which 101 parents participated, was conducted with a questionnaire. The findings suggest that, while parents generally rate their children as highly independent, children are more independent in some activities than in others. In general, parents assessed children as more independent in self-care activities than in doing chores. Furthermore, we found that there are significant differences in parents' assessment of child's independence in dressing, bathing, and brushing the teeth between different age groups of children. Our paper contributes to understanding children's independence and provides insight into areas where children need adult support.
