The transition from nonverbal to verbal communication in children is significantly influenced by the maternal secondary signaling system. Current geopolitical and health crises, such as the war in Ukraine and post- COVID-19 syndrome, exacerbate maternal stress and may affect mother- child interactions and child development. Aim. The purpose of this study is to examine differences in the activity of the second signaling system between mothers who report difficulties perceiving their children and those who do not, and to understand the impact of these differences on motherchild interactions during the child’s verbal developmental period. Materials and methods. The study involved 184 mothers, divided into two groups: 98 mothers who reported difficulties in perceiving their children and 86 mothers who did not. The The Questionnaire for Assessing the Activity of the Second Signal System (Language and Cognitive Test: How Well Do You Understand and Communicate?) (Lunov, 2023) was used to evaluate the activity of the second signal system across eight subscales corresponding to different cytoarchitectonic fields. Independent samples t-tests were conducted to compare the mean scores of each subscale and the overall integral index between the groups. Results. Significant differences were found on all subscales and the integral index, indicating notable discrepancies in the activity of the second signaling system between the two groups. Mothers who reported difficulties had consistently lower scores, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to support their communication and interaction with their children. Discussion. The findings highlight the critical role of the second signaling system in maternal perception and interaction. The combined effects of war-induced trauma and post- COVID-19 syndrome exacerbate these challenges and underscore the need for comprehensive support programs. Findings from studies underscore the importance of addressing transgenerational attachment factors and maternal mental health to improve mother- child relationships and promote healthy developmental outcomes.
