Modern psychology largely continues to rely on the ideas of Lev Vygotsky. His work on the patterns of a child’s mental development remains a staple for educators and psychologists around the world to this day.

The author does not confine himself to analyzing age-related crises—he convincingly presents the key idea: learning becomes the driving force of upbringing.

This book by the outstanding Russian psychologist Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky (1896–1934) is devoted to the laws of a child’s mental development and remains relevant for specialists in different countries. It reveals the features of children’s development, examines the crises of different age stages, and substantiates the leading role of learning in the upbringing process. Particular emphasis is placed on the formation of personality, as well as the development of thinking and speech in the early years.
