The article examines the ideas of V.F. Panova (1905-1973), a famous Soviet writer, an expert in child psychology, about growing up or mental development in preschool childhood in the conditions of a child's knowledge of the surrounding world and interaction with it. The combination of three components of this world has a decisive influence on the emotional experiences, reflections and behavior of a boy: nature, animals, a small town and a street of residence, objects; a group of children; and mainly close adults with their moral norms and rules. Growing up does not determine the chain of life events by itself. Its leading factors are, on the one 10 hand, the intellectual and practical activity of a preschooler aimed at understanding, entering, establishing connections with each of the components of the world, and, on the other, communication with an adult who stands on a humanistic, personality-oriented, gender position in contrast to the authoritarian, formal pedagogical one. In the process of growing up, such important psychological acquisitions are formed in a child: firstly, the arbitrariness of behavior and activity, cognitive and emotional processes; secondly, intellectual activity in the sphere of thinking about the three components of the surrounding world, awareness of one's place in relationships with each of them, but above all with loved ones in accordance with the main moral norm – justice. The transition to a new stage of mental development is associated with the completion of a radiant childhood and the child's encounter with the tragic mysteries of human existence – separation, sadness, etc.
