PSYCHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF FEARS IN OLDER PRESCHOOL CHILDREN WITH MENTAL DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY

Опис

The relevance of our study is due to the need to establish productive
psychological and pedagogical interaction between the subjects
responsible for the successful development of the child in the early
stages of its ontogenesis, in order to promote a happy, self-sufficient,
socially successful personality. In addition, this, as is well known,
depends on the quality of the social situation of the child’s
development – and the younger the child, the more it depends on the
situation of development, which creates for him the immediate
environment. For a senior preschooler, this environment is primarily his
family, as well as the preschool educational institution (if the child
attends such an institution and, accordingly, is included in the scope of
its pedagogical and educational influence).
Fears have a special place in the life experience of a child who begins
to master the world around him and his place in it. Fear is important for
the development of the child, is an important link in the regulation of its
social contacts and behavior, if it accurately performs its functions. Thus,
there are three main functions of fear: 1) mobilization (mobilizes human
forces for active activities in critical situations); 2) warning (helps to
better remember dangerous and unpleasant events); 3) strategic (occurs
when information is not enough to make a comprehensive decision, fear
dictates the strategy of behavior).
