Growing up with emotion: an educative experience in the emotions classroom applying the Emo-é program

Abstract

Nowadays we can not ignore that emotions are a part of the human being and that the emotional education should be present and explicitily included in the curriculum vitae of the students. It is not enough to work with these habilities cross-wise, which is okay, but insufficient for the childs who are willing to learn to cope with their own emotions and the others. Because of this, the aim of the article is to introduce a training program estructured to develop the emotional intelligence of childs who are currently coursing primary school. It is all about Emo-é and it has for novelty the participation of a pet (dog) specifically trained to interact with childs.
