Based on a theoretical study of information available in the world and domestic science and his own pedagogical experience, the author characterises the tutoring of social development of primary school pupils in private schools as an innovative socio-pedagogical technology. The elitist status of pupils’ parents in private secondary schools, their requirements to the specifics of their children's socialisation, force private schools to organise tutoring of social growth, which can be considered a process of significant quantitative and qualitative changes in social life. The article considers social development as a dual process, in the context of socialisation and individualisation. The author emphasizes that the primary school age is sensitive to the process of social development because in this period, the child takes an active place in various social relations, where his / her "I" is equivalent to others, which develops a new stage of self-awareness in society, social responsibility . It is confirmed that tutoring accompanies the child to enter the sphere of social life, culture; it contributes to the creation of value orientations, child's lifestyle, and his / her own social experience. It is established that tutoring of social development of junior schoolchildren is based on 3 main approaches: compensatory, educational-perspective and integration- and person-oriented. The tutor of the primary level of a private educational institution in the course of tutoring social development performs the roles of a social mentor, a personal growth tracker, a mediator, an education and development manager. The author identifies psycho- and socio-diagnostic, practice-oriented methods, methods of problem-based learning, methods of analysis and self-analysis, methods of organising independent work by the main methods aimed at tutoring social development of junior schoolchildren. It is generalised that the tutoring of junior schoolchildren’s social development has 5 main stages: diagnostic, motivational, cognitive-axiological, activity-based and behavioural, reflexive-corrective.

The tendency of educational opportunities polarization, which accompanied by segregation and stratification of secondary education, is empirically confirmed in Ukraine. Children from elite families, who are determined by social distance, individual and personal inequality, disparities in social conditions of development and social selection, are new target group of socio-pedagogical research. The aim of the article is to represent the theoretical and experimental study of the social situation and experience of primary school pupils from elite families and its impact on the trajectory of their social development. The survey, conducted in March-June 2020, involved parents of 143 children from elite families aged 6-8. It was determined that the socio-economic situation of the children family, affects their social experience and the educational trajectory of pupils. The leading role in raising a child belongs to educational institutions in 2% of family, despite the fact that in most elite families the educational function is equally distributed between both parents. It forms a specific demand for a school that has to educate children. Private schools could face the problem of forming responsibilities, as most primary school pupils from elite families have no domestic responsibilities, and their behavior may be partly antisocial. It because family education is not based on the causal links of the child's negative behavior and the equival punishment for it. The main demands on private schools for children from elite families are overcoming or minimizing shyness and isolation; fears and phobias; hyperactivity, emotional instability and capriciousness.

According to the theory of conflict resolution, in the school, as an educational institution, systematic influences on constructive social behaviors and quality choices are possible. The study aimed to determine the relation-ship between the creative potential of early primary school pupils and their patterns of behavior in school conflicts. Early primary school pupils (N = 73; 55.1% girls) participated in the research by solving the EPoC-SOC test of po-tential social creativity. Their teachers (N = 16; 38-60 years; 96% women) assessed three patterns of pupil behavior (winning, avoiding, and cooperation). Non-standardized results were used to assess divergent-exploratory thinking as well as convergent-integrative thinking in tasks with dyad social relations and group tasks. Correlation analysis found only a statistically significant negative association between the avoidance pattern and achievement on the tasks of convergent-integrative social creativity. The obtained results suggest the need for further research on the relationship between pupils’ social competency and behavior in conflicts.

After the preschool, primary school is the first educational institution where the pupil encounters difficulties in the learning process. The first years of schooling form the basis for further education, influencing the child's social, physical, cognitive, emotional, and psychological development. For this development to be successful, it is essential to be aware of the pedagogical demands placed upon children and their resources in meeting them. Considering the peculiarities of the primary school age group, the curriculum requirements and desired outcomes can be rated as very high, which a pupil can only achieve with an increased effort, extra learning hours and prolonged concentration – the resources that are not characteristic for primary school pupils. As the requirements exceed the resources on the regular basis, the child is exposed to increased stress level, and if it is prolonged, the child's overall development is adversely affected, as well as his/her attitude and abilities. In this stage, it is important to ensure positive development of systematic and purposeful working skills, healthy self-confidence, cooperation and self-management skills, so that the child develops as a self-sufficient, active citizen of Latvia. Formation of a positive stress experience in the childhood supports successful child’s personal growth and development in the future. In the pedagogical process, it is important not only to identify the causes of children's stress, but also to teach how to reduce stress and how to manage the consequences. Further research and particularly action research studies are needed in primary schools of Latvia fully assessing the children’s workloads in practice and determining the level of stress associated with learning.

The scientific article presents sociological indicators that allow, first, to reveal the laws of the genesis, existence and influence of a social event on sociodynamics and the direction of social development, and secondly, to demark the social event among other phenomena of social reality. Three interrelated groups of its objective and subjective sociological indicators are distinguished on the basis of the sociological definition of the social event: genesis and determination; Social being; Social consequences. Sociological indicators of genesis and determination reflect the sources of a social event: the prerequisites, factors and reasons that cause the emergence of a social event. Sociological indicators of social life record the manifestation of the essential properties of a social event, as well as the existence in the social reality of the main structural components of a social event. Sociological indicators of the consequences of the influence of a social event on social development record changes in the leading structures and processes of society: in social institutions, in social relations, in the way of life and worldview of social actors. These indicators, in their unity and interrelationship, constitute an integral set of social markers that allow, at an empirical level, to carry out a sociological measurement of the influence of a social event on the socio-dynamics of society and the emergence of a qualitatively new social reality.

This article examines the socio-pedagogical conditions for developing of primary school pupils. Each age has its own level of psychological, physical and social development, and it is also noted that the external social factor is the main condition for the development of internal sociality in children. School activities take a leading role in the development of the social intelligence of primary school pupils and, therefore, in the formation of the child's basic relationship with society. According to scientists, any age has its own unique and unrepeatable condition for social development. It is these conditions that make it possible to determine the forms and ways of development of children. Since a child's development is often dependent on environmental conditions, these conditions can both stimulate and inhibit development.
