Abstract

Emotional intelligence is a key personality trait that includes the ability to recognize, understand, express, and manage emotions. It affects interpersonal interactions, self-esteem, motivation, and success in various areas of life. The scientific literature presents various approaches to understanding the structure of emotional intelligence. Primary school age is a sensitive period for the development of emotional intelligence. During this period, children develop basic emotional and social skills that affect their future personal and academic success. Insufficient development of emotional intelligence in children can lead to various psychological and behavioral difficulties, including anxiety, learning difficulties, aggression, or isolation. Emotional intelligence can and should be developed purposefully. Play forms are particularly effective at this age, especially methods aimed at developing empathy, self-regulation, and the ability to recognize emotions. Psychogymnastics stands out as one of the promising methods that allows developing children’s abilities for emotional reflection, non-verbal expression of emotions, and improving communication skills.
