Purpose: to reveal the theoretical and empirical aspects of the preschooler personality formation and to disclose how stress and negative traumatic experiences in childhood can affect a child’s personality. But how do these influences “here and now” manifest themselves through the violation of the behavior and emotional and volitional sphere of the preschooler. We analyzed the views of scientists on the impact of negative early experiences on mental and physical health in adulthood.
Methods: theoretical, namely the analysis of the issue based on studying the scientific literature and generalization of the received information. Empirical: a test questionnaire of parental attitude by A. Varga and V. Stolin. Methodology Yu. Alyoshyna «Attitude of a married couple» and the method of O. Kocharyan «Diagnosis of behavior in a conflict situation». We also used a projective technique, painting «My family». To examine the emotional sphere of children, we chose the cards «Monsters of the senses» by J. Gokh-Korona, H. Korona. These methods allowed us to analyze the family picture and emotional experiences of children in these families.
Results: theoretical analysis revealed that early negative experiences, namely suffering as a result of abuse, provoke a complex work of the immune system, which is the main moderator of body control. The brain can withstand severe stressful events, but if they are predictable or unpredictable, even the mildest, they become fatal. When a young child is exposed to emotional trauma, brain cells produce a hormone that slows the growth of new cells in the hippocampus, reducing the ability to process emotions and cope with stress. As a result of empirical research, negative factors of upbringing by one parent were disclosed, as well as unfavorable emotional atmosphere in families, which manifests itself in the form of behavioral disorders in children, as well as high levels of aggression, impaired self-esteem, and self-perception.
Conclusions. Based on the views of researchers, psychophysiologists, neuropsychologists, it is the early experience of devaluation, violence, abuse that can affect the development of the ocular-frontal cortex, which is the moral center of the brain. Such children may become aggressors in the future and may have antisocial behavior.
