Abstract

The article analyzes the basic psychological and pedagogical principles and identifies the features of the formation and development of communication skills in preschool education. It also analyzes the factors that the formed communication skills provide the opportunity for successful communication, as it acts as the main factor of communication activity. Having effective communication skills at all stages of life is a necessity for social individuals. The educational process is an indispensable factor in the realization of this social process, and the preschool period, as the basis of this process, is very important for ensuring and improving the transfer of effective communication skills. Preschool teachers face a great responsibility in terms of the difficulties of transferring adequate skills to their children and ensuring effective communication with them. For quality education, it is crucial that preschool teachers know the elements that they should take into account when interacting with children in kindergartens and establish strong ties in this direction. Other representatives of preschool education and parents represent another link in the actions and results set to ensure effective communication and also play an important role in this regard, since effective communication between teachers, administration, parents, and children increases the quality and effectiveness of education. The communication process depends on the coordinated actions of the parties, their understanding of the tasks (problems) they jointly solve, the choice of appropriate methods of transmitting information and self-regulation of behavior. Communication skill groups are identified according to their content. Various authors emphasize the importance of the purposeful development of communication skills in preschool age as a condition for their accumulation of positive communication experience, which is realized in the process of communication with children, parents and teachers in various situations. The importance of the communicative competence of adult education in the formation of communication skills in preschool children is emphasized. The papers also emphasize the importance of adult communication competence in developing communication skills in preschool children. It is clear that effective communication processes can be achieved with individuals who have this awareness and fundamental communication skills and are able to analyze their actions in this regard.
