Summary/Abstract: The holistic approach of this school maturity concept involves the integration of child development domains – physical, motor, social and emotional in a unitary model. Certainly, cognitive maturity plays a central role in academic performance, but emotional and social factors must not be neglected as they can potentiate and empower the child’s effort to transit successfully and to obtain school success. The intervention by means of development, optimization and training programs for social and emotional competences represents a modality to improve and optimize the pupils’ learning process and school performance implicitly but also a modality to increase their social and academic integration. The present study proposes to demonstrate the efficiency of certain optimization and training techniques for social and emotional competences at early ages, mainly at the beginning of school years.
