the article presents the results of an empirical study of the relationship between the type of attachment to the mother and the level of self-esteem in primary school children (N=121). The study used the E. V. Pupyreva questionnaire to diagnose the type of attachment and the V. G. Shchur ladder technique. The study revealed the distribution of attachment types (secure, moderately secure, and insecure) and levels of self-esteem (high, adequate, low, very low, and extremely low). Using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient, a statistically significant negative relationship was found between the average attachment security score and the level of self-esteem development (ρ = - 0.439; p < 0.001).
