FORMATION OF THE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

The article deals with problems of developing the self-concept of primary school children. In the modern world, scientists, educators and psychologists have begun to pay more and more attention not only to the basic knowledge that children are taught in primary school, but also to the ability of children to communicate and interact with each other, with parents, teachers, tutors. In order to form adequate communication skills and social development, special attention should be paid to a set of factors that include social skills, physical fitness, family values, competencies, and academic performance. It is at primary school age that the foundations of self-esteem and self-worth are laid. All the processes comprehended by a student of primary school age lead to the formation of the self-concept of a person who is able to live his life optimally, using his potentials to the maximum and realizing himself in socially significant activities, and this, in turn, is the main idea of existential pedagogy. It is these foundations that are laid at primary school age. In this regard, children of primary school age need special attention.
