Based on the obtained results of diagnostic of preschool children a technique aimed at more successful mastery of a second language (tartar) on the basis of Russian and English language (English based on Russian and Tatar - on the basis of Russian and English) and simultaneous mastery of three languages is introduced. The technology also involves consideration of the phenomena of transposition (the transfer of positive experience of the speech of children in one language into another language) and interference (identification and overcoming of the negative impact of one language onto another language in case of discrepancy of their structural features).

The value of the role play for the children’s development and status of the game as the leading activity of preschool children is not questioned, but in order to fulfill its leadership role and actually become a valuable tool for the development of personal qualities, the game itself should have a certain level of development.

The study was conducted in the older groups in Moscow kindergartens (112 children aged 5-6 years). During the observations the following indicators of play development were registered: plot of the game, role fulfillment, quality of interaction between children in role play and in real-life communication, level of development of play operations, usage of substitute items, means of game space creation.

Results showed that 60% of older preschoolers demonstrated low levels of the play development; average level was met fulfilled by 35% of children; high level was recorded only as an exception.

Play is called to be of the special importance in Russian federal government requirements for preschool education program. However, in this precise formulation an ambivalent attitude to the game can be found: on the one hand, it is “the main form of work with preschool children,” and on the other - the leading activity of preschool children. This duality provides a definite risk of utilitarian use of play and replacing it by traditional training sessions. Bringing toys and fairy tales in the classroom can not be considered as a sufficient condition for true play appearance. The advanced game is independent and free in its nature; it involves the creation of an imaginary situation, the simultaneous existence of the child in the real and imaginary space.

The article describes the basic components of the relationship between children and parents that influence the development of preschoolers’ abilities. Numerous studies and practical observations show that parents who highly appreciate child’s development, who perceive child as a unique individual with personal and age characteristics, have every chance to bring up creative person. Family members (including grandparents, parents) should participate actively in the development of preschool children using the instructional style of leadership. The dominance of the creative and intellectual abilities in structure of abilities is largely determined by the order of birth, the emotional relationship between parents, the style of child control in the learning process.

The article describes current trends affecting children’s development – new and emerging needs of children. Emerging needs appear very quickly, so they are difficult to track, not to mention the fact that it is hard to respond to them. Among them are: emergence of the Internet, the use of mobile phones by preschool children, the problems associated with obesity in children and others. After analyzing these unexpected events, authors found out that professionals, whether researchers, policy makers, practitioners or journalists looked at them as at deviation from the norm – situations that are rare, and therefore are not to worry about. But when rare phenomena superimposed on each other, authors became alarmed. It turned out that all these accidents can not be attributed to chance.
