Abstract
Childhood is a special period in human life, and it is characterized by a specific logic of thinking. The way the child perceives and understands the world as regards its material, non-material, and social aspects, is entirely different from that of an adult person. The child experiences emotions and applies moral requirements in his own way. The presented study aims to show the specific functioning of children in the surrounding world. It also undertakes to indicate the possible role of educators in the field of getting to know the essence and nature of a child.
