РАЗВИТИЕ НА ЕМОЦИОНАЛНА ИНТЕЛИГЕНТНОСТ В ПРЕДУЧИЛИЩНА ВЪЗРАСТ

Abstract

The current report examines the question of development of emotional intelligence of children at a pre-school age as a part of the work on an Erasmus+ project „To hug the world“. The core idea of the project is to enhance the quality and efficiency of education at early child age, as well as emphasize equality, social convergence and active civil participation. The development of emotional intelligence is a key factor for the complete participation of a child in life, which sets the main goal of the current development and is targeted towards the children to grow up as active future members of society, ready to participate in its management and at the same time forming sense of compassion, belonging to societies wider than the family. The child as a participant in the project „To hug the world“ acquires the needed social knowledge and skills for fulfilling their role of a citizen, learns to solve interpersonal, local, national and global problems, showing constructive, pragmatic and critical thinking, freedom of thought and independence of will. Teaching children emotional intelligence, to acknowledge feelings, to understand where they come from and to learn to cope with them, sets the foundations of the most important skills for success and premise of full personal development at a later stage. In the current report, there are different techniques used by teachers of Kindergarten „Zname na mira“, Vratsa, targeted towards forming of emotional intelligence in children.
