Abstract
This paper describes a pilot study that was undertaken with the aim of promoting the emotional self regulation of children. The study was undertaken with 29 primay 4 and 5 pupils who were identified as having problem behaviours. The paper outlines briefly the background and content of the programme, describes the teaching strategies used, and highlights the importance of creating an appropriate context for emotional and social learning. An evaluation of the programme based on informal feedbackfrom the pupils indicates the usefulness of the programme and suggests the need for further training in other aspects of emotional social competence.
