CHILD AND SOCIETY
Relationships with other people begin and develop most intensively in preschool age. The first experience of such relationships becomes the foundation on which further personal development is built. The subsequent path of his personal and social development, and therefore his future fate, largely depends on how the child’s relationships develop in the first group of peers in his life - in the kindergarten group.
As studies have shown, at different stages of a child’s genetic development, the main communicative need changes and becomes more complex. Thus, in children 2–4 years old, the main communicative need is the need for the complicity of a peer, which is expressed in the simultaneous and identical actions of children. Children between the ages of 4 and 6 years old develop a need for joint activities with peers. At the age of 6–7 years, stable selective preferences between children develop.
Young children are often “captured by emotions” because they cannot yet control their feelings, which leads to impulsive behavior and difficulties in communicating with peers and adults. The problem is that children are egocentric; as a rule, in relation to other people, their own “I” often prevails.
The task of a teacher, an adult, is to help a preschooler develop a sense of self-confidence, teach him to consciously perceive the emotional state of himself and those around him, and also build relationships in interaction.
Emotions play an important role in children’s lives: they help them perceive reality and respond to it. The little man encounters the diversity of the world around him: objects, events, people. His parents introduce him to everything that surrounds him. Adults always, in one form or another, express their attitude towards things and phenomena using intonation, facial expressions, gestures and speech. While learning about the world around us, the child receives standards of relationships and displays a pronounced and selective attitude towards both objects and people. The child clearly distinguishes his loved ones from the people around him, showing his emotional state, makes it clear to his loved ones what he likes and what makes him angry.
In recent years, significant changes have occurred in the emotional sphere of the child. This is influenced by many factors: on the one hand, stressful situations, adult problems, low living standards, and on the other hand, the technologization of life. More and more children are appearing with disorders in psycho-emotional development, which include emotional instability, hostility, aggressiveness and anxiety.
An adult’s inattentive attitude towards a child significantly reduces his social activity: the child withdraws into himself, becomes constrained, insecure, ready to cry or take out his aggression on his peers.
The main goal of my activity is to promote the mental and personal growth of the child, creating an emotional happy mood in the group.
But the teacher also needs the help of parents, because mother and father are the first and main educators. They teach children to understand people and value life. They pass on the best to their children. Society is a huge house built from small bricks - families. And strong bricks mean a strong house. The interests of father and mother should be directed towards a common goal: to raise children physically and morally healthy.
Family feelings become a school of personal spiritual qualities for children. From these feelings, children learn love, friendship, submission and leadership, and learn to be a man and a woman.
Teaching a child to see and understand people is perhaps the most difficult thing in the difficult task of raising a person. Parental love should be such that the child awakens the sensitivity of the heart to the world around him, to everything that a person creates, that serves a person, and, of course, first of all, to the person himself. The feelings on which a good family of good people relies are similar to building blocks of happiness, and from them you can create an island of “home paradise”. Family can be the main source of happiness in our lives, but under one condition: treat others as yourself, try to give others and yourself this happiness.
