During mutual interactions, adults have specific images of children, they have different expectations towards children and influence them in an active way. According to Swiss educator Hans Saner, there are different types of relations between educators and children: based on subordination, equivalence and relative independence. On the basis of these relations, Hans Saner distinguishes three models of child’s upbringing in contemporary world: the model relying on something that a child ‘has not been yet’, the model of equivalence in relations between a child and an adult and the model of child’s self-upbringing. In the article I present the results of my own research about preferences of the teachers from early school education and from common rooms in the field of child’s upbringing models according to Hans Saner’s typology.
