Knowledge of the characteristics of the psychology and physiology of children at this age will help the teacher plan, organize the educational process in order to maximize the development of child's personality..

For preschoolers, the period from 3 to 4 years is very important. Knowledge of the peculiarities of the psychology and physiology of children at this age helps the specialists to plan, organize the educational process in order to maximize the development of child’s personality. Almost all children at the age of three enter the “I myself” crisis, when the child tries in every possible way to protect his right to independence, to expand the boundaries of his capabilities

The three-year-old crisis is an important milestone of early preschool age, which is often expressed by the following manifestations: Negativism, • Perseverance • Stubbornness • Independence. • Protest, Despotism. The cause of the crisis for three years is the contradiction between “I want” and “I can”: the clash of the need to act independently and expand one's own boundaries on the one hand and the need to meet the expectations of adults on the other hand. The child should be allowed to do something in which he/she can be free and expressive. This wonder activity is play. Play still remains the child's leading activity. At this age, the play smoothly turns from parallel to interactive. They play all the time – with each other, alone, with an adult. At first, they imitate the actions and behavior of adults in play. Role play is prevalent in the early preschool age. For a child, the most important thing here is role distribution, the plot of the play is relegated to the background. In play, the child has the opportunity to experience what is not yet available in adult life. Play is also very important for a child's emotional development. It helps to overcome fears, unpleasant stories, long-term illnesses, etc. The circle of interests of younger preschoolers is expanding. They pay attention not only to phenomena and objects in close proximity, but also reproduce emotions and impressions received from the environment through the play.
