This type of education aims to develop the emotional intelligence of people and understand emotional competencies as necessary and basic for successful development in life and the achievement of personal and professional development.

A good emotional education helps people to achieve a correct psychological balance and to have very clear objectives:
- Greater knowledge of our own emotions and identification of those of others.
- Development of the ability to regulate personal emotions.
- Prevention of harmful effects of negative emotions and development of the ability to generate positive emotions and synergies.
- Self-motivation.

Strategies to Incorporate Emotional Education at School

The teacher can introduce the subject in the form of talks and debates, as well as through games or specific activities that serve to help children understand and communicate their own feelings and emotions. In these cases, the function of the adult is to listen carefully to what children express, to reinforce their responses and to help them understand their own emotions and those of others, while also learning to put themselves in the other's place, that is, to empathize.
Be kind, be happy!
Emotional education helps to develop emotional competencies, thus contributing to meet the challenges of life.
