Abstract

This study examines the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and emotional regulation (ER) in preschool environments, assessing their importance in early childhood education. It specifically analyzes the use of dramatic play to enhance these skills in young children. Emotional intelligence and regulation are crucial for cognitive and social development, and the ability to understand and manage emotions is a key predictor of success in both academic and non-academic contexts. This study highlights the importance of these competencies in preschool settings and the instructors' involvement in fostering emotional development through structured activities and dramatic play.
