The Role of Family and Preschool in Shaping Social Competencies in Preschool-Aged Children

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of social competencies and the need to develop them in preschool-aged children. It also aims to demonstrate the roles and tasks of parents and preschool teachers in shaping these competencies in children. The analysis focuses on selected definitions of social competencies and the provisions of the Preschool Education Curriculum, as well as on two functions of the family: educational and socializing, which are particularly important for the development of children’s social competencies. The research problem concerns the role and tasks of parents and preschool teachers in shaping the social competencies of preschool-aged children. To answer this question, an analysis of selected psychological and pedagogical texts was conducted using the desk research method. Human beings are social creatures; for proper development and effective functioning, they should establish appropriate relationships with other people. This also applies to the youngest generation. Developing emotional and social competencies, especially interpersonal skills, can help children establish satisfying relationships with their peers and reduce the risk of undesirable behaviours. The primary responsibility for educating and socialising children lies with their parents. In carrying out the educational and socialising functions, preschools should support them, hence the importance of cooperation between parents and preschool teachers.
