The prediction of the school readiness of children entering the primary school based on the emotional intelligence of their mothers

This study was designed to predict the educational readiness of children entering the primary school based on the emotional intelligence of their mothers. The study population included mothers with at least a reading and writing literacy with their children who came to the assessment center of their children at the entrance to the primary school of Asad Abad in the summer of 2014 to assess their child's educational readiness. 120 women with these conditions were selected as samples. This research is descriptive and correlational. Measuring tools include: Shot Emotional Intelligence Scale and Children's Academic Readiness Test. Educational readiness tests determine the level of children's performance in the three theological, cognitive-motor and general fields. Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the level of verbal, cognitive, and motor performance of children based on maternal emotional intelligence is predictable. Also, the prediction of the verbal level of children's performance based on maternal emotional intelligence is more significant than their cognitive-motor function level.
