Every human being in close contact with his family, friends and society. Ties with these people are based on personal qualities and social habits which have been started since early childhood. The formation of social habits is especially important to children growing in partronage institutions. Social skills are an ability: - to get on well with other people and groups, to make and develop interpersonal ties, to look for compromises, to find the rational ways of solving conflicts; - to learn, to work and create together with the others, to achieve the common goals; - to participate in cultural, civil and political life of the community, to respect democratic principles and values of the society, to take care of the environment. Social upbringing is a process, the aim of which is to form important personal qualities of a child: responsibility, independence, tolerance, dutifulness and others which play a great role in their socialization. Sociological researches and practical works show that inmates of Children‘s Home form poor social skills due to objective and subjective reasons. That is why the expression of social shills in the Children‘s Home was chosen as the object of the research. The main purpose of this work is to give the light to the expression of social skills and possibilities of their formation in the children growing in orphanages. The hypothesis has been confirmed: the formation and development of social skills guarantees further independent life of a child.
