Problems of socialization in preschool children

Abstract: The article examines the problems of socialization in preschool-aged children, which represents a crucial stage in personality development. Key obstacles to successful socialization are identified, including a lack of parental communication, isolation from peers, the influence of digital technologies, excessive control or lack of attention, family conflicts, and difficulties adapting to social groups. Proposed solutions include active parental involvement, fostering social skills, limiting the use of gadgets, creating a supportive family environment, and providing psychological and pedagogical support. The article emphasizes the importance of addressing these challenges early to ensure children’s harmonious development and successful integration into society.
