Abstract
The article presents the content, forms and methods of professional development of teachers, psychologists and parents in the field of mental health of preschool children. It has been proven that more factors influence on children’s upbringing and development than congenital one. The study of the main determining role in the mental development of the child is presented in the form of objects and sign system. Harmonious development of children largely depends on their psychic health, so the issue of psychic health formation is still relevant.
Focusing on global mitigation measures and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapidly changing situation, the entire conversation in the media and in society is focused only on the occurrence of the disease, while a large amount of information falls on children. It has been found that the "transmission" of stress and anxiety by adults in everyday life and social environment to children, with all its changes, can help to cope with difficult situations if parents avoid difficult conversations about feelings and events, expressing concerns.
