Sažetak
Self-esteem, an important aspect of self-concept, is the term which expresses the global evaluation of oneself. Coordinated stimulation of child's development of self-esteem of children by parents and kindergarten is an important prerequisite for a child's overall mental and physical development. The aim of this article relates to the determination of intercorrelations within a sets of variables and crosscorrelations between sets of variables: the type of information that parents receive from the educator in the kindergarten, kindergarten's assistance in developing self-esteem of the child, parental encouraging of the child's self-esteem and a source of knowledge about the development of self-esteem in children. Participants were occasional sample of 102 mothers who had children involved in preschool programs in Croatia, in December 2009. We applied the Questionnaire about parental perception of encouraging self-esteem in kindergarten. With the exception of sources of knowledge about the child's self-esteem, a statistically significant correlation is found among all other sets of variables related to the promotion of the child's self-esteem. On the other hand, a small number of statistically significant correlations is found between different sets of variables. So, only the types of information that parents receive from the educator of the child are significantly correlated with different sources of knowledge about the child's self-esteem, but also with the information that they give teachers about the child. The results show that mothers generally show interest in developing self-esteem in children, and that they perceive the importance of their own (parental) roles, the importance of kindergarten, but also the coordination of joint efforts of parents and kindergarten experts, all for the purpose of stimulating the child's self-esteem.
