The article deals with the development of social resourcefulness in preschool children as an important aspect of their personal growth. It is noted that resourcefulness is a manifestation of creative talent, which is formed in conditions of support and emotional comfort. The influence of social factors on the development of inventive abilities, in particular, the role of adults in shaping a positive attitude to life, is investigated. It is analysed how the absence of stress and negative evaluation contributes to better performance of creative tasks by children. The proposed criteria for assessing ingenuity include heuristics, creative imagination, flexibility of thinking and independence. A modified diagnostic methodology is used to assess the social adequacy of children’s behaviour, which allows to identify their creative potentials. The results of the study indicate a positive impact of specially designed game tasks on the development of social ingenuity. The article emphasises the need to create a favourable psychological climate in the children’s group to activate creative self-expression. The article also contains practical recommendations for educators on how to implement innovative approaches in the educational process. Prospects for further research in this area are discussed, including the study of new methods for stimulating ingenuity. The conclusions emphasise the importance of educating creative, open-minded and optimistic individuals. The results can be useful for teachers, psychologists and parents. The article provides examples of successful practices that promote the development of social resourcefulness. It is emphasised that only in conditions of support and trust can children realise their creative potential. The article makes a significant contribution to the understanding of the development of social resourcefulness in preschoolers. The conclusions emphasise the importance of educating creative, open-minded and optimistic individuals.
