BEHAVIOURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CHILDREN IN RISK FROM THE ASPECT OF THEIR PARENTS

Abstract

In contemporary dimensional systems, widely accepted Achenbach classification of externalized and internalized behavioral problems was used to evaluate this work. The aim of the paper is to show what are the characteristics of the behavior of children at risk from the aspect of their parents. A sample of respondents was comprised of 40 parents from 3 elementary schools in the area of Tuzla, whose children were included in the program of early social pedagogical interventions at school. The paper follows the assumption that a precise distinction will be made in the manifestation of gender disorder behavior and that the family environment has a significant influence on the behavior. The research was conducted during 2017. The measuring instrument used in the work is Achenbach's Checklist for Child Behavior. Research findings suggest that there is a significant difference in the intensity of behavioral disorders among students living with both parents and those living with one parent. The results also show a significant correlation between aggressiveness and delinquency, and attention and delinquency behavior.
