Very important factors for the psychosocial adjustment and socialization of the child are the family and the school. During the preschool age, the family plays the most significant role, as it lays the foundations of the individual's personality and future adjustment. At school, and specifically in the classroom, the formation of the child's personality and socialization continues, and the teacher must contribute to this effort by finding ways of adaptation that will facilitate it.

The fundamental question is whether and to what extent the teacher can help the child overcome difficulties stemming from their family environment. Does the teacher and the modern school have this capability and power? The answer is neither easy nor simple, as the situations are complex and intertwined with various external and internal school factors. Thus, the role of the teacher becomes particularly complex.
Today, we accept that it is not enough for the teacher to possess the general knowledge required to be a good teacher. The teacher's education must also include additional knowledge about the psychology of the developing child, the learning process, and the teacher-student interaction. The teacher is called upon, among all other responsibilities, to activate in the classroom those behaviors of the child that will help them perform better in their studies and achieve the highest possible level of smooth adjustment and socialization. This book is a valuable aid for students of pedagogical schools and related fields, and it will be particularly useful for teachers and parents.
