The article deals with the results of the study on a mother’s acceptance of her child
of primary school age in connection with her self-acceptance and different types of assistance to her from the outside. The study sample of 60 respondents demonstrated
a high level of acceptance of children. The factor analysis showed that a mother’s acceptance of her child depends on two factors – self-relation of the mother and closeness of the relationship with the child. The more the mother accepts herself, respects herself, is able to show 墓exibility in behaviour, the more she accepts the child. The factor of closeness of the relationship with the child showed that the closer the emotional distance with the child (symbiosis received a large factor load), the more the mother accepts the child. The closeness of this relationship can, according to our results, be increased by the positive attitude and help of the child’s father and the negative attitude and lack of support from the immediate environment (relatives and friends).
Key words: acceptance of a child, primary school child, factors of acceptance of a
child by a mother, maternal relation.
