THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND MORAL INFLUENCE OF MOTHERS IN THE UPBRINGING OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

This study examines the psychological and moral influence of mothers in the upbringing of preschool children. It explores how emotional relationships, maternal behavior, and value transmission shape children’s personality development. The findings indicate that maternal warmth, support, and positive communication significantly contribute to emotional stability, social adaptation, and independent thinking. Furthermore, non-punitive approaches based on encouragement and explanation are shown to be more effective than authoritarian methods. The study also identifies practical strategies for improving parenting practices in contemporary family contexts.
