Summary/Abstract: The general theory of crisis stages in the cultural development of children has been outlined in the article. Nowadays such a theory seems to be extremely needed. It enables understanding of why developmental crises clearly intensify and which forms of their course favour the construction/formation or destruction of the cultural development. The formulation of such a general theory of crisis stages in the cultural development of children is of particular importance for pedagogical practices. This type of psychological reflection can become a basis of the pedagogics of the crisis stages in the cultural development of children, postulated by Vygotsky many years ago.
