POJETÍ KONTAKTNÍHO RODIČOVSTVÍ V ČESKÉ REPUBLICE: TEMATICKÁ ANALÝZA.

Attachment parenting is one of the most popular parenting trends in the Czech Republic. The aim of the study is to describe attachment parenting in the Czech Republic and to identify key aspects of this parenting approach in women who practice attachment parenting. A semistructured interviews were conducted with 42 mothers of toddlers who identified themselves as those who practice attachment parenting. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse data and to generate themes that comprise the conception of attachment parenting practice in the Czech Republic. The three major themes were identified as: 1) contact with child as a response to child's needs, 2) respect for the child, and 3) a conflict between the ideas of attachment parenting and reality. The identified conception of attachment parenting practice in the Czech Republic is discussed in the context of attachment parenting literature and relevant research findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
