PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIPS AND THE FORMATION OF THE PERSONALITY OF CHILDREN FROM MIGRANT FAMILIES

Abstract

The paper contains the results of a theoretical analysis of the problem of the influence of parent-child relationships on the formation of a child’s personality. The main factors that activate the personal development of children in a situation of socio-psychological adaptation are described. The results of an empirical study related to the diagnosis of the image of the mother in children from migrant families are presented. The paper shows that the image of the mother is an important factor in the formation of the child’s personality, an indicator of his or her success in socio-psychological interactions. It is empirically proven that the interaction with the mother in preschool children with a positive image of the Self is distinguished by emotional closeness and harmonious contacts. In its turn, the interaction with the mother in preschool children with a negative image of the Self is characterized by the ambivalence of manifestations, a restrained, disharmonious background of contacts. It is noted that these characteristics of parent-child relationships are the basic stimulus for the formation of the ideas of the Self and significant Others in preschool children.
