The role of the family in the development of a child's emotional intelligence

Abstract

The article presents a fragment of the program of psychological and pedagogical support of the family in the development of the emotional sphere of preschool children. The implementation of the method of theoretical analysis and relying on the works of A. Vallon, W. James, E. Erickson; L.S. Vygotsky, O.V. Gordeeva, V.A. Labunskaya, S.L. Rubinstein, K.D. Ushinsky and other researchers allowed us to establish the relationship between the development of emotions, including emotional intelligence, and communication of a child with adults- first of all, - parents who provide emotional comfort and well-being of children in the family. The data obtained based on the results of our monitoring of responsible parenthood indicate that for absolutely most fathers, the average level of development of the emotional sphere is typical, characterized by both an insufficient level of knowledge in the field of the emotional sphere of a person, and the skills and abilities to display emotions, including emotional intelligence. In order to form a system of knowledge, skills and abilities among fathers that allow not only to express their own emotions, but also to recognize and understand the causes of certain emotions in others (primarily children), we have designed a system of events for dads within the framework of the theme "The role of the family in the development of children's emotions preschool age". We believe that the implementation of the program of psychological and pedagogical support of the family developed by us will significantly increase the level of psychological and pedagogical knowledge of parents (in particular, fathers) and, as a result, will "make" their parenting more conscious and responsible, including in matters of the development of the emotional sphere of preschool children.
