摘要：Because of the importance of coordinating the factors of organized out-of-family upbringing with such influences within the family, in the last few decades special attention has been given to cooperation with parents. The concept of cooperation with parents has changed in accordance with the search for new, more efficient forms of work with parents, thus today it implies the most complex form of cooperation, and that is the inclusion of parents directly into the process of education. Such a form of cooperation is confronted with numerous obstacles in real life. The most significant were those that related to the expert-educator, of whom it was expected to accept the parent as a partner. Although in children's library playrooms the presence of parents is quite customary during play time, the possibility for parents to be included in the games their children are playing makes the librarians distrustful as it does the kindergarten teachers where parents are not continually present. The results of action research which followed the development of the project including parents in the playrooms, called "Association of children and parents", have proven that the negative expectations of the educators regarding parents' participation in children's play were unfounded. As the educators gradually realized that the fears of their competence being threatened had not come true, they became supportive of the project and are largely responsible for its success.
