Abstract. Cognitive activity is observed in every individual with developed cognitive processes, but cognitive interest and motivation is one of the main conditions for its progress, and for this, a great deal of work falls on parents. In the article, the information about the role played by the family in the formation of the child as a personality and in the development of cognitive activity was reflected, based on this, certain di­rections that could help parents were given. Here, children's growth in comfortable and safe conditions in the family environment and the positive effect of activity in this environment on cognitive activity, the moral values that the family can give to the child, and the skills that the child should develop have been touched upon.

It is considered appropriate to introduce certain developmental games and exercises for the develop­ment of children from an early age, because this age period is considered the most sensitive period for the development of cognitive activity. Also, attention is paid here to the extent to which cognitive processes de­velop at an early age.
