Pátková, Laura ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Adámková, Jana (referee)
The thesis will focus on the upbringing styles in lesbian families. Research is going to be qualitative and will be held trough interviews with the seven families. The aim of the thesis is to describe the conditions of upbringing styles in lesbian families. Then we will compare the results, also with other studies in this field. The results showed, that lesbian mothers use so called democratic parenting styles. They think, that it is important to respect their children's needs, hear their thoughts and opinions and in most cases (according to age) to let them decide what they want. The mothers educate their children in types of families (heteroparental, homoparental, single) from young age. They do it via films, fairy tales and books, mothers also provide meetings with other homoparental families to their children. When it comes to homophobia, most of the couples do not prepare their children for theoretical unpleasant situations. In three of seven families the children also have contact with donors.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to determine level of socio-emotional competencies of children in homoparental families and to discover possible differences in their development. This goal was achieved by testing the socio-emotional competencies of a sample of four school-aged children using a standard IDS test and a questionnaire focusing on a challenging school and life situation. To deepen the knowledge about the families and the understanding of the background of upbringing, biographical and anamnestic core data questionnaire was sent to the families before personal meetings and also each child and one or both of his mothers were interviewed.
