Abstract

The article focuses on the theoretical foundation for developing emotional regulation skills in 5-6-year-old children through experiential learning, with the aim of helping children recognize, control their emotions, and develop social awareness. The research uses analysis and synthesis of theoretical literature from both domestic and international studies to establish a solid theoretical framework. The research findings indicate that 5-6-year-old children can identify and regulate their emotions through real-life experiences such as play, learning, and festivals. Children learn to recognize their own emotions as well as those of others, control their emotions in communication situations, and develop empathy. Developing emotional regulation skills through experience not only helps children manage their emotions but also contributes to the development of their personality and social abilities. The study provides a theoretical foundation to propose effective measures for enhancing emotional regulation skills in 5-6-year-old children through experiential learning in educational environments.
