Peculiarities of formation of self-regulation skills and psycho-emotional well-being of junior schoolchildren by means of mindfulness technology

Abstract

The article explores the potential of mindfulness as an effective approach to the formation of psycho-emotional well-being and self-regulation in primary school students. Mindfulness, or mindfulness practice, involves the development of the ability to focus on the present moment without judgment, which helps to reduce stress and improve emotional well-being. The relevance of the study is emphasized by modern challenges, in particular, the growing level of anxiety, emotional burnout, and social maladjustment among children studying in conditions of rapid change and increased demands on cognitive and emotional stability.
The authors substantiate the importance of mindfulness in the development of students’ emotional intelligence. It is emphasized that mindfulness contributes to the ability of children to recognize and analyze their own emotions, respond adequately to stressful situations, establish empathetic relationships and work effectively in a team. The article discusses specific methods of implementing mindfulness in the educational process, including breathing exercises, visualization techniques, bodyoriented practices, and concentration exercises. These techniques help to create inner balance, improve concentration, develop self-awareness, and harmonize students’ behavior.
The study also emphasizes the key role of teachers in creating a favorable emotional environment for mindfulness. Teachers are not only leaders of these practices, but also active participants in the process, which requires special training, awareness of the importance of emotional support for students, and involvement of parents. The authors of the article propose an interdisciplinary approach to the integration of mindfulness, involving psychologists, educators, child development researchers, and educators.
The conclusions indicate that the use of mindfulness technology in primary school has significant potential to improve the quality of the educational environment. This contributes not only to improving academic performance but also to the overall psycho-emotional well-being of children. The development of self-regulation skills, emotional stability and adaptability to social challenges makes mindfulness an indispensable tool for modern education.
