GREGOROVÁ, Ilona
The bachelor thesis is devoted to the issue of death of domestic animals from the perspective of preschool children and their parents. The theoretical part focuses on the importance of animals in the lives of children, briefly presents the development of how children understand death and the specifics of their mourning. Finally, there are stated ways how we can help them overcome the grief of when their animal dies. The aim of the practical part is to map out the experiences and attitudes of parents and their children with the issue of death of domestic animals. Within the qualitative research, semi-structured in-depth interviews with six parents and their children were used. These interviews mainly concerned the children's reaction to the death of a pet, the parents' attitude to death and the way children interpret the death of their pet. It turned out that it is very difficult for the parents to explain the topic of death to the children. Parents shouldn't be afraid to talk to children, answer their questions and, above all, show them by example how to cope with difficult life situations.
