Sumario:Background: one of the challenges addressed in secondary education is the prevention of students potentially inappropriate behaviors in school. Consequently, educational programs have been implemented to develop students emotional competences from an early age and foster better management and control of emotions such as anger. Some studies relate emotional intelligence to adolescents more adaptive behaviours, and others show that better emotion regulation predicts healthy self-esteem. In the present study, involving 234 elementary school students, their emotion regulation and its corresponding relationship with higher self-esteem were evaluated with the aim of preventing inappropriate behavior. Method: The Childhood and Adolescence Evaluation System self-report and Tutor Emotional Competences protocols were administered. Results: a positive and predictive relationship between students anger regulation and high self-esteem was found. Conclusion: educational programs should be promoted to improve primary school students emotion intelligence in order to generate higher self-esteem, which, in turn, leads to better psychological well-being in secondary education. Appropriate emotional and behavioral control will facilitate adaptation to the student's environment.
