DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2017-2-37-47
The article observes the system “mother – child” in early childhood from the point of view of the mother coping behavior connected with the psychosocial development of the child. Underlines the purposefulness of studying of the mental development of the early aged child in its interaction with the mother as a single system, because of the symbiotic nature of their relationship and the immaturity of the child mind, the influence of mother on its development in the first three years of life overlaps all other factors. Notices the specificity of the difficult situations in the process of mother-child interaction, actualizes the characteristic style of mother of such specific social behavior as coping behavior, that allows consciously and intentionally to resolve the problem and stressful situations. Proposes and formulates the concept of the early mother coping (EMC). This form of coping acts as the system event based on the consideration of stress signals of the child, the perception of these signals by the mother and her response reactions to any form of coping. Presents the empirical results of the early maternal coping, identifies its normative indicators. The conclusion is made that the deformation of the “mother-child” system at an early age can occur in the form of inefficient early mother coping which is a predictor of disorders of the psychosocial development of the child.
