Children learn to control their emotions watching how they manage their parents. In other words, life family is the first school for emotional learning. the family, therefore, as a first educational level, needs to reflect on their educational patterns and become aware of their role in the education of their children. If parents shirk that responsibility and the delegate at school, the system becomes unbalanced ".
"But school is one of the most important means through which the child will learn and will be influenced by all the factors that make up his personality. According to Professor Counseling Rafael Bisquerra, we must consider whether, instead of teaching contents that are obsolete, must be educated so that everyone knows how to look judiciously and be able to find what they are looking for. it is important that students acquire other skills, such as related to positive attitude, regulate anger or live in democracy. therefore, the school should raise teach students to be more emotionally intelligent, providing them with basic emotional strategies and skills for success as people. "

Therefore, "these activities aim to facilitate knowledge and proper management of emotions, which are certainly key to generate emotional health, a creative playful way, and plastic. On the other hand the pillar, we wanted to turn to parents through the work of their children, in order to facilitate reflection of the usefulness of emotional intelligence in the exercise of a positive parenting, to achieve adequate development of basic skills in their children's lives and make them beings happy, creative and able to face life, tolerating frustration, stressful situations successfully confronting and overcoming anxiety. "
"In this sense, the sharing and creative interdisciplinary work has provided us with a wealth and field opening, focusing not only on the outcome, but also especially in the care process by which it has reached the final work. No doubt, we are becoming more professionals in all areas that are open to such proposals, which facilitate the emotional language of families and schools, being capable of coping with children in a positive way.
