Abstract
Problem behaviour is increasingly observed in preschool children. Its occurrence can negatively affect not only a child's pre-school education and readiness for further education, or develop into more serious behavioural disorders, but according to several studies, behavioural problems at an early age also affect an individual's educational attainment in adulthood. The proposed study presents the results of a nationwide survey in Slovakia, where, through a self-constructed questionnaire, pedagogical and professional staff of kindergartens in Slovakia (n=450) reflected on incidence, prevalence, symptoms, and gender differences in behaviour problems manifested among children of preschool age in the Slovak kindergartens.
