The problem of the peculiarities of the development of the emotional sphere of children is relevant both in theoretical and purely applied aspects. In the conditions of a residential institution, insufficient attention is paid to the development of the emotional and volitional sphere of children. This is confirmed by experimental explorations of I. Zalisina, which are of interest in terms of our research. The scientist carried out a comparative analysis of the manifestation of expressiveness and empathy in older preschool children who were brought up in families and institutional institutions and found that both the pupils of the boarding school and the orphanage do not show interest in emotional experiences. They lack both reactive empathy, which appears in response to other people's feelings, and proactive empathy - the child's desire to share his experience with other people, to involve them in empathy for himself and others. Insufficient determination of the influence of various socio-psychological factors of raising children on the development of their emotional sphere significantly complicates the process of finding means of prevention and correction of unwanted manifestations in it. This is what determined the choice of the research topic
