PECULIARITIES OF MENTAL AND MORAL UPBRINGING OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

Throughout the history of the development of the theory and practice of mental education of preschool children, the main efforts of psychologists are aimed at studying the problem of perception and forming the conceptual thinking of preschool children. Mental education and development of the child was considered as a process of gradual introduction of the main forms of thinking - from emotional-practical to abstract-conceptual. At the same time, mental development acted not only as the process of mastering the child's knowledge and methods of mental activity, but also as the formation of certain personality traits. The social environment, communication and activities with adults and peers, as well as the organization of systematic activities in the classroom are recognized as the source of development of the preschool child.
