Formation of moral sentiments in children within the family
(RESUME)

Psychological fundamentals of moral education within the family are presented. Specific, and inalienable, role of the family in development of psychologically and morally sound personality is emphasized; the basis of the latter is shown to be laid in the pre-school age in the form of emotional decentration and of positive emotional attitude to one's dues. Recognition of moral education as the most central educational task requires from the family not only to reject the traditional idea of "educatedness" as a normobliging and adaptive behavior but also to address itself to emotional bases of the prosocial motivation. The latter can not be developed apart from the most pleasant and interesting for the child life-activities saturated with the morally significant meaning. For a pre-school child games based on every-day and fairy plots can serve as such. Emotional comfort is by all means one of the basic, background pre-requisites for efficient family education.
