Resumen

This research work addressed the issue of emotion management in early childhood children, in the light of empathy, considering the post-pandemic context and its relationship with coexistence in the formal public education of the district of Bogota.

For the analysis of the information, the categories empathy, coexistence, pedagogical practices and post-pandemic were defined. The results of the application were mostly positive to the extent that the pedagogical proposal was successfully developed and allowed the children to generate spaces for dialogue and self-recognition, in addition to improving classroom dynamics.
