ASSESSMENT AS ONE OF THE FACTORS OF THE IMPACT ON THE CHILD’S SELF-ESTEEM FORMATION DURING THE SCHOOL ADAPTATION PROCESS

logical concepts. The next is a formally operational period – from eleven to fifteen years – of understanding and distinguishing abstract ideas (good and evil, beautiful and ugly, fair and unfair, etc.). However, the Swiss psychologist notes that all individuals undergo the first three, but not everyone – formally operational. It all depends on the quality of school education and upbringing. That is why it is so important in the new elementary school to introduce such techniques that would help focus the child in the process of life on the actual life experience, and not on the past or future, on the formation of categorical apparatus such as “sense of life”, “values”, “life goals”, etc. This allows both to understand the child and to feel its inner world, and to direct its social activity in the humanistic vector, and to promote the formation of adequate selfesteem. It is worth mentioning another psychologist in the field of humanistic direction, who is convinced that a person will get more joy in life if he evaluates solely his traits and actions, and not worry about the assessment of his so-called “I”. This is A. Ellis. In his opinion, a person’s assessment of himself as being is a logical solution to the problem of self-worth. “If a person needs to value him, then it is better for him to proceed from such a reliable norm as his life or existence. Then, according to this rule, she can quite rightly decide: “I am good not because I am very successful in doing something, and not because some people praise me, but simply because I live and I exist”. When a person accepts his positivity from the point of view of existence or life, obviously, he accepts himself in almost every manifestation that he can. According to this rule, she will not be able to find positivity only if she dies” 7 . 7 Ehllis A.(2002) Gumanisticheskaya psikhoterapiya: Ratsional’noehmotsional’nyy podkhod [Humanistic Psychotherapy: A Rationally Emotional Approach] Moskow: EHKSMO-Press. pp. 26.
