EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AS A CONCEPT AND A RESOURCE TO WORK ON IT

No one questions the importance of working on emotional education in early childhood education classrooms, since it is a key element to promote the integral development of students in this age group. The history and evolution of this concept will mark the first part of this book. Howard Gardner and Daniel Goleman will be some of the authors we will refer to in order to better understand this term, too abstract in many occasions. The story and the puppets will be the resources that we will use in the second chapter of this book to really understand the practical application in the classroom that this concept should follow and the importance it will have for the youngest children in the center. Therefore, by reading this book the reader will be able to enjoy both theoretical and practical knowledge of emotional education.
