Care and Education of a Young Child as an Important
Developmental Basis
The focus of the article is on care and education of a child. The areas where the
most direct ways of satisfying the need of a child in his or hers earliest period
that affect establishing the relationship with the child are presented in more
detail. This relationship is established right after child’s birth and represents a
basis for later upbringing. Cry, sleep, physical contact and feed are being taken
into the account. We find that many practices in relation to infants and toddlers
in the present day are in great contradiction with practices in the past, which is
largely a consequence of social progress and scientific knowledge in areas that
are directly or indirectly related to the attitude towards children. Some findings
are highly related to child’s family care and upbringing, whereas more general
ones can be used in preschool education institutions. What is important is that
professional preschool teachers and workers are familiarized with modern sci-
entific views of child’s upbringing, education and care since then their work
can be done professionally.
Keywords: young child, crying, feeding, body contact, sleeing
