The present study is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a mindfulness course on the psychological well-being of preschoolers (i.e., attention and impulsivity, prosocial behavior, empathy, emotion regulation and conduct). Participants will be randomized to either intervention (dots Curriculum) or wait-list control condition. Participants will complete a computerized task and they will be interviewed to complete a scenario test before (baseline) and after the intervention. The parents and class teacher will also be invited to complete a survey at baseline and after the intervention.
