Facilitating Emotional Self-Regulation in Preschool Children: Efficacy of the Early HeartSmarts Program in Promoting Social, Emotional, and Cognitive Development
An e-booklet by Raymond Trevor Bradley, PhD., Mike Atkinson, Dana Tomasino, Robert A. Rees, PhD.
Giving Young Children a Great Start
“Of the key socio-emotional competencies in early childhood that lay the foundation for future development and the potentials for adult psychosocial growth, well-being and accomplishment, emotional self-regulation is core,” this important educational e-book explains. Facilitating Emotional Self-Regulation in Preschool Children is the culmination of a highly successful HeartMath Early HeartSmarts® (EHS) study and pilot program provided in 19 preschools within the Salt Lake City School District. Children as young as age 3 learned, practiced and retained socio-emotional skills taught in the program.
This e-booklet details the “compelling evidence” researchers found that EHS for ages 3-6 enhanced the children’s growth in four key development areas: social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language. The authors lay out the study’s step-by-step methodology and researchers’ findings and conclusions. It includes discussions on the scientific basis of EHS; the start of emotional self-regulation in the first 18 months of infancy; the critical link between the heart and human emotions; the benefits of psychophysiological coherence and positive emotions; and a description of how the Early HeartSmarts program is organized.

Emotional Stress, Positive Emotions, and Psychophysiological Coherence A Scientific Monograph e-booklet by Dr. Rollin McCraty and Dana Tomasino
Changing Your Emotions – a New Approach to Stress Management Until recently stress research and treatment has largely derived from a belief that mental processes alone govern or activate the body’s stress response. Now the scientific monograph, Emotional Stress, Positive Emotions, and Psychophysiological Coherence, presents in layman’s terms the latest stress research showing emotions, more than thoughts, activate the physiological changes comprising the stress response. This important monograph by HeartMath researchers for the landmark book, Stress in Health and Disease, explains the science and psychophysiology of stress and HeartMath’s simple tools and utilization of positive emotions for permanently self-managing your stress and breaking the cycle of recurring negative emotional patterns.
