The Child's Emotional Development as Basis for Cooperation between Kindergarten and Family

The article is devoted to the problem of cooperation between kindergarten educators and parents as they may originally have different understanding of children's development. Nowadays there are many changes under way in the educational system so this problem is considered to be highly relevant in modern Russia. We suggest using joint activities of educators and parents for designing a child's development. We suppose that the main direction of the child's mental development is emotional intelligence, and its development is closely related to the type of child and parents relationship. Family performs a special role in the emotional development of a child and a kindergarten performs another specific role. Joint activities by the family and the kindergarten may contribute to the child's adequate development.
