Abstract
The article deals with the investigation of the emotional attachment to parents of children with adequate and inadequate age and gender identity. Characteristics of the age and gender identity in children of preschool age (with adequate and inadequate age and gender identity) were established. Similar and distinctive features of the emotional attachment to parents of children with adequate and inadequate age and gender identity were revealed. We have also determined the presence and specificity of the relationship between characteristics of the emotional attachment to their parents and the age and gender identity in children of preschool age.

Highlights
Urgency of the research is determined by the importance of the relationship of the child with his/her adult relative for the formation of his/her personality (Vygotsky L.S., Leont’ev A.N., Rubinstein S.L., Lisina M.I.et al.) [1] This is the attachment that is a key concept describing the relationship of the child to the relative adult in modern scientific psychology [2]
As a hypothesis we made the following assumptions: 1) emotional attachment to parents of preschool children with inadequate age and gender identity is higher than in children with adequate age and gender identity; 2) high emotional attachment to the mother may contribute to the formation of inadequate age and gender identity in preschool age children
Determining the relevance of this issue allowed to formulate the purpose of this study - to identify particular characteristics of emotional attachment to parents of preschool children with adequate and inadequate age and gender identity
Summary
Urgency of the research is determined by the importance of the relationship of the child with his/her adult relative for the formation of his/her personality (Vygotsky L.S., Leont’ev A.N., Rubinstein S.L., Lisina M.I.et al.) [1] This is the attachment that is a key concept describing the relationship of the child to the relative adult in modern scientific psychology [2]. The family is the primary social environment for the child joining to the experience of particular society In this environment we can see the process of primarily formation of ideas about social groups, social roles, as well as corresponding behaviors needed for successful functioning of the individual in the society [15]
