This project aims to investigate children's difficulties with emotional regulation in the school environment, to develop an early intervention programme for preschool children (5 years old) and their families, and to explore the relationship between emotional regulation and various risk and protective factors, including variables such as gender, age, socio-economic context, parenting styles, social skills and academic performance. Data analysis will facilitate the adaptation of the intervention to the needs of the school population.
Methodologically, the project will adopt a quasi-experimental design with control and experimental groups, using a convenience sample drawn from two schools in Tarragona. This design will make it possible to compare the effectiveness of the programme in improving children's emotional skills.
