Features of the development of emotional intelligence of junior schoolchildren in the context of the emotional state of their mothers

The article examines the role of the mother’s emotional state in the development of the emotional intelligence of a child of primary school age. The implementation of the federal state standard for primary general education determines the high importance of moral education, the development of ethical feelings, emotional and moral responsiveness, goodwill, understanding and empathy for the feelings of other people. According to the provisions of L.S. Vygotsky on the synergy of the intellectual and emotional-volitional spheres of the individual, it is impossible to consider the processes of cognition in isolation from emotions, which is certainly reflected in increasing the efficiency of functioning and successful socialization of the child. The purpose of the study is to study the characteristics of the development of emotional intelligence of children of primary school age in conjunction with the emotional background of mothers in relation to their children through assessing their sensitivity, emotional acceptance and behavioral manifestations of emotional interaction. The results obtained revealed the importance of positive healthy parent-child relationships in the development of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills, as well as the formation of the emotional well-being of primary schoolchildren. The family is the first school of emotional literacy and the most important environment in which emotional competencies are formed.
