Nováková, Luďka ; Maříková, Hana (advisor) ; Šmídová, Olga (referee)
This thesis deals with the generational shift in women's attitudes towards the upbringing of their own children in the early 21st century. The aim of this thesis is to determine how today's generation of mothers reflects the upbringing of their parents, reflection of their own experience with upbringing and whether that leads to some inter- generational shift or change within the approach itself. Possible causes and influences of shifts and changes are discussed. To achieve this goal a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with women - mothers was conducted. The research shows that in fact shifts in these approaches actually occur and that the main criterion is a reflection of one's own childhood in particular, reflection of one's parents and reflection of the current relationship with one's parents.

In the theoretical section of my thesis I focus on the characteristics of ČT :D, the Czech Television channel designed for children as well as on the book and film series called Horrible Histories. I also mention the theme of the effect of television on child viewers. Main emphasis is put on the empirical part of my thesis. 50 children aged 8-12 years were enrolled in the survey. I have also collected opinions of teachers and parents of the children of the age under scrutiny, which should confirm or negate the results of my research. The results show that the programme is suitable for the minimum age of 10 years. In order to comprehend the context and get the maximum benefit from the programme, the ideal age is 12 years.
