INTRODUCTION: Young children are filled with energy and wonder. They’re naturally heart-centered and eager to love and be loved, learn and be taught. Education science provides ample evidence that what children learn before school profoundly affects academic success, relationships and self-image. Studies at the Institute of HeartMath show learning socioemotional skills early can result in improved behavior at home, school and play. HeartMath has developed a series of programs, tools, techniques, games, music and more tailored specifically for young children. It is suitable for use at home or in the classroom.
