The importance of emotional states in children’s learning and their social integration is becoming increasingly clear. As a result, many cultural and educational centres have adopted the regular practice of meditation in their classrooms.
This text seeks to promote children’s natural emotional development and the acquisition of a series of competencies – knowledge, skills and attitudes – that are essential to perceiving, understanding, expressing and regulating what they are feeling at any given moment in time. These emotional competencies guarantee good social adaptation, effective learning and enhanced ability to cope with life’s challenges.
The book consists of 44 interactive visualizations, for which the reader will find a QR code with the guided visualizations narrated by the author at the end of each practice section.
María Jesús Pavón Izquierdo teaches emotional intelligence, relaxation techniques, meditation, therapeutic yoga and mindfulness to children, adults and families privately, in schools and in local centres. She is the founder of Amalive, Emotional Thinking.
