    Abstract

    Child’s joy is a feeling specific in its nature. The child is able to derive pleasure from a variety of sources – from a spontaneous activity satisfying the need for physical exercise as well as cognitive needs, from the experience of overcoming obstacles, a momentary creative success, from short-term social contacts and long-term relationships with loved people, from play with peers, contact with nature and art. The feeling of joy underlies all the positive social reactions of the child and inspires a positive attitude to the world and people. This article aims to characterize the source and essence of children’s joy and to identify the role and importance of this feeling in the comprehensive development of the child.
