The topic of the final paper is "Cooperation of single parents and educators". From ancient times the father, mother and children were considered to be the ideal family. The father is the one who supports the family financially, the mother takes care exclusively of the household and the upbringing of the children, but that has started to change over time. The family is the primary community of society, but as society develops this type of family is slowly changing. Today there are different "types" of families, there is still a family of father, mother and child / children, but also extended, then extramarital communities, two-generation families, same- sex communities and single-parent families or single parents. This paper describes who single parents really are, their difficulties, their lives, children of single parents and the cooperation with kindergartens and educators. Many stereotypes are associated with single parents, but sometimes their biggest problem is not understanding the environment itself for their life situation. A single family arises when one of the spouses dies, stops caring for their child for some reason or if a divorce occurs between the spouses. The cooperation and partnership itself is a little different between educators and single parents primarily because of the children, because they are the most important and you need to know how to deal with the situation related to single parents so that the child does not feel that something bad is happening around him. The child needs time, the educator of practice and knowledge, and the parent the strength and security to get through all these difficult moments that befall the parents. Unfortunately, this is happening more and more often, research shows that single parents are often stressed, struggling with depression, exhausted, under a lot of pressure, and loneliness also occurs. This is a big problem because it is easily passed on to the child. The child feels fear, insecurity of his parent and therefore needs to know how to overcome it. The paper also describes how the child experiences it, how to treat the child in such a situation, and how to deal with the parent. Children as well as parents go through various crises and then educators are people of trust and security who must in some way make it easier primarily for the child and the parent himself.
