The importance of positive teacher-student relationship in enhancing the social competences of children isolated from their peers

Abstract

In the proper process of child development, shaping individual traits of his or her personality and developing social competence, an important role is played by the child’s family as well as by the school environment, which deter­mines its development through educational and pedagogical activities. Children rejected and isolated do not take an active part in the class life. That is the reason why they do not have a chance to meet security and acceptance needs, which are essential for proper social and emotional development. The purpose of this article is to show the importance of proper relationship at the teacher­student level that enhances the development of social competences of children isolated from their peers.
