Guía didáctica para el control emocional en niños de inicial ii mediante actividades de mindfulness

Abstract

This research presents a didactic guide based on mindfulness activities aimed at enhancing emotional regulation in Initial II children at the "Primeros Pasos" Early Stimulation Center in Guayaquil. Emotional regulation difficulties, including impulsive behaviors like shouting and isolation, negatively impact children's learning and social interactions. A mixed-methods approach was employed to assess specific emotional needs and design tailored activities promoting self regulation, empathy, and focus. Pilot results indicated a significant decrease in impulsive behaviors and improved emotional management skills. This proposal emphasizes the importance of incorporating mindfulness into early childhood education, fostering key emotional competencies and contributing to children's socio-emotional well-being.
