Abstract
The importance of emotional life in the integral education of preschool children has always been recognized, but now with greater force, given the impact it has on the development of attitudes and civic and ethical behavior. Lack of understanding of the functioning of emotions and how to intervene in them, requires deeper studies into the topic to support parents, teachers and society in general, in the use of appropriate and strategic approaches in this field. This paper has three objectives: 1) to describe the process by which moral thought and action develop in preschool children, 2) to analyze the role that positive and negative emotions have in shaping the moral personality of children, and 3) to offer suggestions for the design of parent and teacher training programs aimed at promoting pro-social behavior.
