The most important stage in the psychological and emotional development of the child is a period of 3-6 years, when the child is rapidly developing as a personality, is his way of thinking and perception of the surrounding world.

The basis of the study of the issue of psychological health of the child is the study of the factors affecting it. The vast majority of these factors is of social character. These include the following factors:

1. Socio-psychological factors: problems in family relationships and violations in the relations between parents and children. A huge impact here has the age of the child. At such an early age a child was inclined to take any disharmonious situation in the family as an emergency situation. Very painful refers to any manifestations of intolerance on the part of the members of the family to each other. Often the child is prone to feel guilty in a particular conflict.

2. Socio-cultural factors associated with the high pace of modern life, when parents are constant nervous and psychological stress, and many are in a state of constant stress.

The next important stage of mental development of the child is younger school age. The period when the child is enrolled in a school. In psychology it is considered that the age of critical. It is in this age increases the risk of psychosomatic diseases. It is connected, first of all, with the entry of the child into school time, are inseparably linked with the increase of the nervous load, the fatigue of the child, the appearance of his life in a new society - the school of the team.

Psychologists recommend to parents in order to avoid psychosomatic diseases of the child have to pay special attention to the three most important moments in the education of children of younger age:

1. The mental condition of the mother, who cares for the child. It is established, that between a mother and her child, there is a strong emotional connection. And on the emotional state of the mother depends on the mental condition of the child. It is unacceptable that the mother has had nervousness, depression, anxiety. Only a happy and quiet of the mother can be happy kids.

2. By a later administration of the child in preschool. Early separation from the mother and the definition of a child in an unfamiliar environment with the established rules is to one degree or another traumatic event for any child. The strengthening of the nervous system and normal psycho-emotional development promotes calm and adequate upbringing in the family.

3. The advance preparation of the child to the school process. Studying in the school, as mentioned above, involves a lot of stress, fatigue, stress on the body of the child. And the sooner he will be prepared by the school, the more easily it will adapt to it during their studies.
