Sažetak
The aims of the research were: finding the effects of the preventive program realized in the Kindergarten "Maslacak" in Zapresic, simultaneously defining the future aims of the program. Using direct questions for the pre-school children, it was found which persons and situations are perceived as dangerous for children, how children deal with such situations and persons, when they are feel secure and what does mean the expression "right for security" for children. Data were collected using a Questionnaire for children named “Perception of the danger and strategies for self-help". The sample of 58 children in Kindergarten "aslacak" in Zapresic were examined. Children were aged from 4.42 to 7.5 (from middle-aged and older kindergarten groups). Children significantly differed the prevalence different sources of the danger at home, in the kindergarten, in traffic, on the playground. Children significantly differed frequency of the strategies that children may apply in dangerous at home, in the kindergarten, in traffic, on the playground. Children significantly differed the characteristics of the so-called dangerous people, dangerous children, but also the "confident persons". Children use statistically significant different strategies in interaction with dangerous people and dangerous children. Pre-school children significantly different describe the term "right for the security", as same as persons and places associated with feeling of security. More pre-school children don’t know how to use phone in sense that they know important telephone numbers (66%). Only 28% know how to dial phone numbers, while significantly more children (79%) know the address where they live. There is a positive correlation between children’s age and phone skills, as same as between the feeling of security and knowing the living address.
