Abstract

The transition from preschool or family life to formal schooling is one of the most important turning points in a child’s development. This article analyzes the pedagogical and psychological problems that first- and second-grade learners face during school adaptation, including separation anxiety, low school readiness, difficulties with discipline, peer relationships and learning motivation. Based on the ideas of Vygotsky, Erikson and Bronfenbrenner and on modern research in school psychology, the article proposes a set of practical solutions for teachers, parents and school psychologists.
