The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling and generalization. The empirical method is a confirmatory research. The results of the research. We believe that adults should create the most positive conditions for the harmonious mental development of the personality of senior school pupils. Parents should understand that the child’s point of view and dignity should be respected, because this will facilitate the formation of a high or adequate self-esteem of the child. Senior school pupils should definitely be given useful advice, set a positive example, because all this will contribute to the formation of their personal and social maturity. Conclusions. Both parents and children should be patient with each other, be kind to each other, love each other in all situations, talk to each other. In this difficult period, the period of children’s growing up, everyone in the family has to perceive the people around them in a completely different way, relate to each other and to the surrounding world. The personally meaningful experience acquired by children is useful. The latter greatly helps senior school pupils to overcome conflicts, depression, not to fall into pessimism and take responsibility for their actions, to draw positively labeled conclusions from all events that will help overcome new life problems. Thus, a personally meaningful experience is formed taking into account certain psychological and social conditions that take place in the life space of senior school pupils in different periods of their life and personal development.
