The article presents empirical research on parental position to children of elder preschool age with different types of relationships with peers. Comparative research of mothers' parental position of preschoolers with and without problems in communication was conducted. Findings indicate that mothers in first group are considering their child as a subject of education and upbringing (objective source); parents in the second group are more personality oriented in their attitude towards the child.
