Abstract
The authors in the presented paper are dealing with a view of young adults from children's homes and families on parenting. These views point out the main factors that have a direct impact on their understanding of parenting. These factors are: the attachment bond, the socialisation of a child in a children's home and the reason for placing a child in a children's home. This paper provides the results of a survey that investigates the ideas of young adults from children's homes and families about parenting through the means of a quantitative method, with an emphasis on a comparison of these ideas.

Summary
The family and environment in which a person is situated, forms and affects them. Throughout the whole adolescence, a person learns to be a parent by receiving care from their own parents, and naturally familiarise themselves with parenting. Among children from children’s homes, the fulfilment of the need for an attachment bond is much more complicated, compared to a child who grows up in a healthy family environment and considers a parent as his attachment person. Home The home is generally a place, where a person grew up and where he has the opportunity to return, in the case where he is in an unfavourable living situation and needs the support of his family The absence of this feeling causes psychological problems (for example in the form of anxiety disorders or excessive fear), that after leaving the children’s home they will become homeless. From the life experiences of former children from children’s homes, they often say how much they missed their own separate childhood room in the children’s home
