The article is devoted to the analysis of the possibility of the practical application of the philosophical ideas of L. Wittgenstein to the psychology of child development. The author substantiates the thesis about the significance of the psychological and pedagogical aspect in the work of Wittgenstein, referring to the philosopher's emphasized interest in the process of learning and the formation of concepts in a child. On the basis of Wittgenstein’s texts, the role of the “grammatical” influences on the formation of the psychological world of children is clarified, and the social factor determines their cultural development. The main recommendation of Wittgenstein regarding the effective way of child development is to teach the child to master concepts with the help of examples and practices, to help him discover his potential within the framework of social interaction.
