The problem of creating a safe socio-psychological climate in the school team is becoming more urgent every year due to the increase in the number of conflict situations between children, leading to negative consequences [1]. The psychological climate in the classroom is one of the most important indicators of a teacher's professional competence. It is in elementary school that the teacher has great authority among children, therefore he is fully responsible for their emotional well-being and psychological comfort among their peers within the walls of a general education institution.

Numerous studies by school psychologists and observations by teachers themselves indicate a close relationship between the psychological climate of the classroom and the success of students' social and educational activities.

The psychological climate of the classroom also influences students' motivation to learn. In a classroom with a high level of satisfaction, a high level of cohesion and a low level of conflict, which make up the content of the classroom climate, students show more interest in learning assignments, strive to achieve success and feel satisfied with their achievements.

Therefore, each teacher is faced with the task of creating trusting, friendly relationships between peers; in the formation of communication skills during regular and extracurricular hours, allowing them to build partnerships taking into account the position of the peer, his individual characteristics.

Important conditions for creating a psychologically comfortable climate in a team for a teacher are his personal qualities such as openness, a sense of humor, initiative, and sociability, creativity; his professional qualities; the teacher's focus on the emotional comfort of children. [1]

In addition, the teacher needs to be able to manage conflicts and negative situations that arise in the classroom, teach students effective conflict resolution strategies and find constructive solutions.

Every conflict situation involving children must be analyzed immediately, the two sides must be listened to, the causes of the dispute must be clarified, and constructive behaviors must be played out in such situations. This algorithm of teacher's actions will allow students to remain in partnership with their peers after resolving a conflict situation, which will allow them to maintain a socially prosperous climate in the classroom.

In addition, to create and maintain a safe classroom environment. The teacher needs to organize business games, class hours, theme nights, and joint project activities involving parents for children. [5]

Thus, the psychological climate in the classroom plays a crucial role in the educational process. Only in a comfortable, supportive, psychologically safe atmosphere will children be able to discover their abilities, realize their existing opportunities, achieve success in their academic activities and feel needed and important, which in the future will positively affect the formation of their personal growth and the formation of a prosperous social position in the world around them.
