How successful an individual will be in life largely depends on emotional intelligence(EI) – a set of emotional traits. Emotional intelligence can be learned and developedthroughout life. EI is developed through the interaction of heredity, learning, andchanges brought about by external influences. Given that it is possible to influence thedevelopment of EI, the education of emotional skills should be an important part of learning. The process of learning emotional skills begins with a good relationshipbetween parents and children and continues through the educational process andinteraction with teachers and peers, allowing the recognition, expression, andconnection of emotions with situations.

This paper describes the specifics of the emotional development of school-aged children and proposes various techniques, activities, and offers tools tofoster EI within the educational process. This paper highlights the responsibility of thefamily and the school community in providing appropriate emotional support andasafe and stimulating environment so that students can acquire the key skills necessaryfor growing into emotionally and mentally strong adults.
