PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAINING AS A MEANS OF HARMONIZING CHILD-PARENT RELATIONS IN FAMILIES RAISING A CHILD WITH DISABILITIES

Abstract

The article deals with a problem of child-parent relations in families with a child with disabilities. The work describes results of an ascertaining stage of the experiment: it was established that parents in general have a positive attitude to their children, but at the same time in some families there are disharmonious styles of upbringing, such as hyperprotection, differences in attitudes depending on the sex of the child, high demands and prohibitions or their complete absence. According to the results of the ascertaining stage, the program of psychological training “I trust” for parents of schoolchildren with disabilities was developed and implemented. The results of testing the effectiveness of the implemented program are presented, which can be used in educational institutions to improve pedagogical competence in the upbringing of a child with special developmental needs.
