Children with Communication Difficulties

The task of this book is to provide theoretical and practical guidelines for educators and psychologists working with conflict-prone preschoolers who experience difficulties in communication with their peers.

The book describes diagnostic methods and techniques that allow for the identification of the peculiarities of interpersonal relationships among preschoolers and the reasons for communication difficulties. The monograph thoroughly examines the most typical variants of conflictual relationships among preschoolers (increased aggression, sensitivity, shyness, and demonstrativeness). A special section is devoted to the uniqueness of relationships among children growing up without a family. An author's system of games and exercises aimed at fostering a friendly attitude within the children's collective is described in detail.

This book is addressed to educators of preschool educational organizations, psychologists, parents, and all adults working with preschool-aged children.
