The article is devoted to the dynamics of changes in age stages of development. The beginning and end of each age stage is the experience of crises which lead to new qualitative changes in the psychological and social personality context. The matter of the theoretical analysis of age crises from birth to adolescence is extremely relevant, as rapid changes in society stimulate the child to continuous development and the lability of social norms erodes the guidelines for the development of personal identity. Among the various forms of identity the most common and distinguished are the age-old benchmarks as the basis for selfidentification of the child's personality.
The article deals with the theoretical analysis of age crises from birth to adolescence as regular stages of mental development of the child's personality. The chronological limits of age crises are determined. The classification of signs, symptoms and typology of age crises is carried out. It is noted that age crises make constructive neoplasms in the structure of the individual with a help of which a personality receives a new experience, which is divided into internal or subjective and social (external) or objective. The study of the psychological patterns of personality's age crises (symptoms, features of development, major neoplasms) will allow to develop general principles and individual strategies for psychological support of the child's personality during the periods of crises. It is one of the essential reasons that causes the need to develop a general psychological concept of age crises of personality development.
