This article arises from the need to provide elementary school students with tools that allow them to successfully deal with everyday situations related to the management of their emotions. Therefore, the article examines the relationship between emotional intelligence and the learning process in elementary school students, since an emotionally competent student can overcome emotional and cognitive obstacles, favoring a more effective and enriching educational experience, since they improve concentration, problem solving and the ability to work in a team, which in turn significantly impacts their academic performance. Through a review of previous studies, it is demonstrated how emotional competencies, such as self-control, empathy, and emotional regulation, influence the academic performance and social adaptation of students. The study emphasizes the relevance of incorporating strategies that promote the development of students' emotional intelligence, in accordance with the principles of the New Mexican School. These approaches not only facilitate the adequate management of emotions in the school environment, but also promote greater motivation and contribute to the creation of a more favorable learning environment. In addition, the discussion discusses how emotional intelligence contributes to students' overall well-being and their ability to cope with academic and personal challenges. The results suggest that promoting emotional skills in primary education can have a significant impact on academic success and on building healthy interpersonal relationships.
