LTStraipsnyje pateikiama mokslinės literatūros apžvalga apie pedagoginį tėvų, auginančių vaikus, turinčius individualiųjų ugdymo/-si poreikių, konsultavimą, kaip vieną esminių pedagogo darbo uždavinių siekiant lygiavertės partnerystės, tinkamo tėvų supratimo, suvokimo, kas yra ugdymo/-si procesas ir koks yra jų vaidmuo šiame procese. Siekiama pagrįsti, kad konsultuojant galima didinti tėvų pedagoginį išprusimą, suteikti žinių apie įvairius vaiko amžiaus tarpsnius, individualiuosius ugdymo/-si poreikius, kylančias problemas ir kt. Sklandus konsultavimas, vedantis į bendradarbiavimą su šeima, galimas tik aktyviai dalyvaujant tėvams, taip pat jis priklauso nuo pedagogo kompetencijų ir gebėjimo kokybiškai konsultuoti. Vykdytame tyrime taikyti mokslinės literatūros, dokumentų analizės, apklausos žodžiu metodai. Tyrimas atskleidė, kad pedagogai sutinka su mokslinėje literatūroje pateiktomis teorijomis, kurios pabrėžia tėvų konsultavimo svarbą visapusiškam vaiko ugdymui/-si. Atliktas tyrimas parodė, kad pedagogai neretai susiduria su negatyviu tėvų bendravimu, nenoru spęsti iškilusias problemas, taip pat atskleidė, kad pedagogams trūksta psichologinių žinių bei praktinių mokymų apie efektyvų tėvų konsultavimą.

ENRelevance of the topic. There is a lack of understanding that parents and the educational institutions are equally responsible for the child's successful education in order to ensure a smooth process of cooperation between educational institutions and families raising pre-school children with individual educational needs. In order to compensate this gap, the authors of the article provide an overview of the scientific literature on pedagogical counseling of parents raising children with individual educational needs. Pedagogical parental counseling is presented as one of the essential tasks of the pedagogue's work in order to achieve equal partnership, proper parents’ understanding about the process of education / learning and their role in this process. The research problem. Smooth consultation is possible only with the active participation of parents, and also depends on the educator's competencies and ability to provide quality counseling. Object of the research - consultation of parents raising pre-school children with individual educational needs. The aim of the research is to substantiate the importance of consultation of parents raising pre-school children with individual educational needs. Objectives of the research: to theoretically substantiate the importance of consultation of parents raising pre-school children with individual educational needs in the educational process; to reveal the attitude of pre-school educators towards counseling of parents raising pre-school children with individual educational needs, as well as the difficulties arising in the counseling process.Research methods: in order to theoretically substantiate the importance of consultation of parents raising pre-school children with individual educational needs in the educational process, the method of analysis of scientific literature and documents was chosen. The method of qualitative research chosen for the research is an oral survey (interview). The study was carried out in March, 2020. With the help of the interview method, 10 pedagogues working in the kindergarten "X" of Kaunas city were interviewed. The teachers of the institution who work with the children with individual educational needs have been selected. The survey was conducted individually, with the consent of each educator. The research findings. An analysis of the scientific literature has shown that parental counseling is one of the main tasks in the work of an educator. The importance of counseling in the educational process is revealed by the common goal of the counselor (pedagogue) and the counselors (parents) - the pursuit of the child's well-being. Pedagogical parental counseling helps to educate parents, find out their expectations, solve various problems, etc.There is a need to expand the functions, specific knowledge and competencies of educators as professionals in the field of education, which would help to improve communication with the children‘s parents and to choose appropriate working strategies. The analysis of the results of the empirical research showed that consulting of parents raising pre-school children with individual educational needs provides the missing knowledge. It turned out that communication and interaction between teachers and parents is hampered by parents' unwillingness to cooperate, denial of the problems and unwillingness to solve them. Informants unanimously agreed that individual forms of counseling were the most acceptable for them and their parents. According to informants, most parents choose live chat, less often electronic means. The study revealed that educators lack knowledge about various disorders on how to manage stress and parental resistance. The analysis of the informants answers also revealed the need to organize practical trainings to teachers who work with children with individual educational needs how to prepare themselves for emotional counseling of parents on how to overcome parental resistance.
