THE IMPACT OF MINDFULNESS STRATEGIES ON EMOTIONAL REGULATION IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Summary/Abstract: In the context of contemporary social and educational transformations, the development of socio-emotional skills is a priority of early education. The preschool child's ability to identify, express and adequately manage emotions significantly influences school adaptation, interpersonal relationships and subsequent success in the educational process. In this sense, mindfulness strategies have begun to be integrated more and more frequently into educational programs for young children, due to their positive effects on attention, self-regulation and psychological well-being. The article analyzes the impact of mindfulness strategies on emotional regulation in preschool children, highlighting the theoretical foundations of the concept, the benefits demonstrated by specialized literature and the practical ways of implementation in educational activities. Recent research findings indicate that mindfulness exercises, controlled breathing, age-appropriate meditation, and focused attention activities help reduce impulsive behaviors, develop self-control, and improve emotional skills in preschool children.
