Although the benefit of developing a child’s emotional intelligence for the child’s personality education has been beyond any doubts, methodological literature that focuses on 1−3-year-old children is still scarce in Lithuania. The aim of this article is to present the experience accumulated while creating a new programme for emotional intelligence development, entitled “Tales of Emotions”, based on author’s Method of Emotional Imitation. Particularly, it discusses the competences necessary for the developer and the teacher as well as challenges and problems encountered in the process of programme development and its implementation. The main methodological approach used in this text is self-observation or “diary” method that led to emphasize the non-linear character and the complexity of the process of method development. Importantly, the findings of this article provide the guidelines for creating a framework to develop the emotional intelligence of 1−6-year-old children and their parents while currently the emotional literacy of 1−3-year-old children is traditionally considered to be a family prerogative.
