PARENTING AS A SOCIOCULTURAL PHENOMENON – CURRENT PROBLEMS OF PROSOCIAL FUNCTIONING

Summary/Abstract: The interest in the social inclusion of the child escalates in the conditions of transition, as the state of society and the well-being of future generations depend on and determine the peculiarities of its course. Given the fact that the modern age has its own ways of regulating, preserving, reproducing and developing social life, it is strongly argued that it is important to discuss its features. The focus is on social changes that give rise to atypical interventions in childhood. The social development of the "I" is characterized as a complex long process, given the complex form of internalization. Within the framework of primary socialization, preschool age is unique in laying the foundations for personality formation. The process of realization of the "I" in society depends on the characteristics of communication in the parent subsystem. It mediates the social perception formed in the child, provokes his/her activity and is the main criterion for adequate socialization. Parents are the first social reality that resists and openly opposes the satisfaction of children's instinctive desires. This experience on the part of the child is a kind of a "feedback" for the immature "I" about the interactions between them and the "significant others". This is a way for the child to differentiate itself from them, to feel like an independent "I" -with its own desires, intentions, goals. The socializing effect of parental behavior in childhood enables the child to build their own identity by developing a motivational environment for communication. This article proposes a model for constructive communication in the parent subsystem, oriented towards affective adaptation of preschool children. In the context of the proposed model, social conflict and social integration are considered as socializing procedures.
