LEVEL OF REGULATION AND MANAGEMENT OF EMOTIONS IN JUDO IN PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THE PROJECT "JUDO IN SCHOOLS" IN CROATIA

Emotional intelligence in children is critical because it refers to their ability to recognise, understand and manage their own emotions, as well as the emotions of other people. This type of intelligence plays a key role in their social and emotional development and has a long-term impact on their success in life (Goleman, 1995). The idea of judo founder Jigoro Kano is based on achieving goals through judo to develop the physical, intellectual and moral abilities of man who thus maximally contributes to his social community (Kano, 2005).
