Abstract

Prilagodba ili adaptacija definira se kao proces privikavanja na neku novu situaciju, u ovom slučaju proces privikavanja djece udomiteljskoj obitelji. Dijete je stavljeno pred izazov prilagodbe na nov način života, nove osobe i novu obitelj, nova pravila ponašanja i strukturu u odgoju, novu školu i učitelje, te prijatelje i okolinu. Značajna je uloga udomitelja u prilagodbi djeteta na udomiteljsku obitelj. Udomitelji moraju biti posebno educirane osobe, koje imaju sve potrebne informacije o povijesti života djeteta kako bi mu pružile odgovarajuću skrb i njegu.
U ovom radu iskazana su iskustva djece koja govore kako bi im se trebalo osigurati veće sudjelovanje u odlukama njihovog izdvajanja, predlažu razgovor s djecom, informiranje djece, postupnost u “ulasku” u obitelj, određene rituale kod dolaska koji bi olakšali “čudnu” situaciju, nelagodu, sram, predlažu oprez pri izboru udomitelja kako se tijekom smještaja ne bi pokazalo da je obitelj neadekvatna, češće posjećivanje djece u obitelji. Također smatraju da im se treba pružiti veća podrška pri smještaju i pohađanju škole, te pri održavanju kontakata s biološkim roditeljima, koji i dalje imaju veliku ulogu u njihovim životima.

Abstract (english)

Adaptation is defined as a process of getting used to a new situation, in this case the process of getting children used to a foster family. A child is facing the challenge of adapting to a new way of life, new people and new family, new rules of conduct and structure in education, a new school and teachers, and friends and surroundings. The role of foster parents in the adjustment of the child to foster care is significant. Foster parents must be specially educated people, who have all the necessary information about the life of the child in order to provide him with appropriate care and nursing.
This paper presents the experiences of children who say that they should be provided with greater participation in their separation decisions, also they suggest talking to children, informing children, gradual “entry” into the family, certain on arrival rituals that would facilitate a “strange” situation, discomfort, shame, suggest caution when choosing foster parents so that the family is inadequate during accommodation, more often visiting children in the family. They think that they should be given more support in housing and attending school and in maintaining contacts with biological parents, who continue to play a major role in their lives
