Hot temper attacks refer to deviations in the behavior of children along with hyperactivity, aggressiveness. Such negative manifestations in modern children cause the greatest concern due to the fact that these children will be responsible for the further status of our country and the direction of its movement - towards development or towards degradation. And this, undoubtedly, presupposes the timely identification of children with signs of irascibility and negative manifestations in behavior, in order not only to prevent an unfavorable development option for preschoolers, but also to provide complex psychological and pedagogical support for them. This issue is especially pressing in connection with the successful preparation of the child for school, and in the future for an independent life. Therefore, the upbringing and education of such preschoolers presupposes the responsibility of adults, aimed at giving children access to the space of culture, making them comprehend its values and meanings. The nature of the child's development is largely determined by the nature of the emerging relationships, which provide support in building harmonious social relations, learning new models of interaction with one’s own self and the world, overcoming the difficulties of the child's socialization. Therefore, we can say that the urgency of the hot temper problem in children in modern conditions does not require additional evidence. The article reveals the significance of this issue in the main regulatory documents: the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation", the Strategy for the Development of Education in the Russian Federation for the Period until 2025, the Federal State Educational Standard of Preschool Education. The purpose of the article is to present and describe experimental work on the problem of irascibility in older preschool children. Research methods of our problem: a group of theoretical methods; empirical: experiment (ascertaining, forming and control stages), the test "Scale of irascibility" (modified version of the questionnaire "Personal aggressiveness and confliction" by E. P. Ilyin and P. A. Kovalev), the eight-color test by M. Lusher, the method of projective anxiety test (authors R. Tamml, V. Amen, M. Dorki); methods of processing the received data. The results of the experimental work (ascertaining and control stages) prove the reliability of the complex of activities aimed at preventing and correcting the irascibility of older preschool children. The data of the ascertaining and control stages of the experiment are evident and detailed. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the generalization of the theoretical and methodological aspects of irascibility problem in preschool children. The presented complex of activities is practice-oriented and can be used in the practical work with preschool children.
