Mičínová, Veronika ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Volek, Martin (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the problems of family coexistence in families with a handicapped child. It discusses how the disability of the child manifests itself in the life of the family as a whole and in the lives of every single family member. The first part presents actual findings about families with a child with disability, submits both negative and positive impacts of such coexistence on individual family members, namely on parents, siblings and grandparents. Subsequently it introduces a system approach to studying a family, which understands the family as a complex comprised of interacting units. The research reveals that order and organization in the light of time and division of labor or responsibilities are important factors in the life of such families. On that account it is necessary to define individual family roles properly, which helps ensuring stability and functionality of a family system. Further it comes to conclusion that due to the presence of a handicapped child, changes in the organization of the family system occur; the child turns into a sort of a family center to which others adapt. A child with disability occupies a special status of 'member - non member', because it can be situated neither into basic family subsystems nor into subsystems based on gender. The...

Today's Family of a Pre-School Child and Free Time Activities
Kdýrová, Petra ; Kropáčková, Jana (advisor) ; Opravilová, Eva (referee)
A family has an invaluable significance for a child of preschool age. It is a basic factor that determines his overall development and nature of free time activities. One of the most important activities are the shared activities of the child and his parents or grandparents, who play an important role in raising of preschool children and showing him a meaningful use of free time. The choice of free time activities should be appropriate to the child's age and should be based on their needs, abilities and skills. The activities should be interesting, varied, from different areas and should have the character of a play. The main way for children to spend free time should be a game. My research has shown that most of the mothers spend more time with their child than the father, with the largest difference occurring during working days. The range of activities reported by parents was greater than those reported by children, but there was a good agreement in the predominantly indicated plays and physical activities. Among the parents' predominant activities were also full-time activities outside the working day. The vast majority of parents indicated that grandparents spend time with the child at least once in 14 days and that they participate in his upbringing. Children also reported that they play with...

Social work with client families early care services focusing on siblings
GREGOROVÁ, Klára
The topic of my thesis is a social work with customer families and services of early care, aimed at siblings. The first chapter describes current situation and it is divided into seven units. The first unit defines the topic and the tasks of family who has essential role in children care, especially in care for disabled children. The topic of disability is described in the next chapter. I have explained the formation of disability, divisions of disability and then social impact on individual people. The special attention is paid to visual and hearing impairment. The focus group of The Centre of Early Care in Ceske Budejovice, which I was describing in my thesis, are the families of children with visual or hearing impairment. The following unit is focused on the topic of a family of disabled child, especially topic of healthy and disabled siblings. Further, I was focused on the specifications of social work with a family and social work with disabled people. There is a short description of therapy, too. The final unit of my thesis is dedicated to early care its definition, services, activities and aims. There is a description of early care, there is a specification of a team of workers and there are described concrete forms of help to families thanks to this service. The practical part of the thesis is a qualitative research, its main aim was to find out what is the main reason for social work with a family with a disabled child in terms of services of social care. There were two research files needed for needs of my research. The first one were customer families, the second one was a key advisor of these families. I used the question method and the method of a half-structure dialogue for my qualitative research. I created curriculum for two half-structured dialogues, one was for the families, the second one was for an advisor. Questions were aimed at the certain topics. These topics were leading to answering of given questions, although the questions within a dialogue with families were different from questions for the key advisor. The research shows that families have different options of services, which are provided by the service of an early care, the whole topic depends on a few factors, which service the family will want and need to use. The main role is played by the overall family lifestyle, its possibilities, aims and wishes. Based on the research, we can say, that there is a whole range of services that are offered to families, these services are available for a healthy sibling, too. Everything again depends on a few factors, how deeply these services will be used. Based on the results of the research, we can say that families caring for a disabled child edit differently individual tasks for individual members of a household and care for its children. Early care is a service which respects individual aspects mentioned above and takes into account these for needs of work of advisors of early family care. It is a service aimed at a family, there it is needed to reflect its possibilities, wishes, aims and try to make the service hand-tailored for the family to keep increasing level of its services.

HRKALÍKOVÁ, Jana
The families with a mental disability child go through the information of child´s diagnosis very hard test which can means even the marital break-up. These mentioned families should manage the crisis, but successful managing of this situation can be very strengthening element. The families with a mental disability child manifest in different way than the families with healthy children, because the birth of child with a mental disability intervenes the peace of the whole family. This fact can remark the family even this way, which the physical problems can appear by the parents or they can incline to risk change of their behaviour. The parents? roles also could change and exists also risk, that brothers and sister of child with a mental disability can follow contacts with difficulties. These families have their own particularity, because the birth of child with a mental disability means great stress for these families. The theoretic part of this work pays attention to a mental disability and its classification. Further are the welfare services available, which can families with a mental disability child use of. It is not also left out the role of family, the importance of parental roles and brotherly and sisterly constellation. I describe style of upbringing and further I concern the particularity of family with a mental disability child in my dissertation likewise the role of brother and sister by the child with a mental disability. There are also stages of acceptance with the diagnosis of a mental disability and risk behaviour of parents these children with a mental disability as results of managing critical situation described and the related physical problems. The target of dissertation is finding out if exists diametrically differences between parental roles by the care about a mental disability child and the healthy child. The intermediate target is finding out if the families with a mental disability child are more predisposed to a presence of social pathological syndromes. The theory expects following fact that the care for a mental disability child has provided by overall in majority by mothers. Families with a mental disability child incline to risk change of their behaviour than by the families with the healthy child. Brothers and sisters of a mental disability child do less friendly relationships than of the healthy children. The approach to quantitative study was used at all. The strategy of questionnaire: The questionnaire inquiry was performed by the 20 families with healthy children and by the 20 families with a mental disability child. The filled questionnaires had evaluated using the elementary statistics of software programmes SPSS and Excel. I found out more conflicting relationships between brothers and sisters in the families with a mental disability child than in the families with healthy children. Brothers and sisters of a mental disability child care more about their mental disability brother or sister than the elder brothers and sisters care about their younger ones. Likewise the brothers and sisters with a mental disability brother or sister have less friendly relationships than the children with healthy brothers and sisters. Families with healthy children enjoy more harmonious parental care than by the families with a mental disability child and mainly mothers do it. The grandparents act on behalf of parents with healthy children more often than in the families with a mental disability child, there exists often absence caring grandparents. The same is the fact that both compared families models using mostly democratic style of upbringing. Psychical problems exist more often by the parents with a mental disability child.
