The approaches of foreign (J. Mayer, P. Selovey, D. Golman, E. Bachrach) and Ukrainian (E. Nosenko, S. Derevyanko, N. Kovryga, A. Chetveryk-Burchak, A. Kostiuk) researchers to the content structure and functions of emotional intelligence. It was established that the effectiveness of pedagogical communication depends on the level of development of the emotional intelligence of the primary school teacher. Pedagogical communication with signs of psychological violence (aggressive reactions of the teacher, baseless accusations, criticism, humiliation of students, hanging of social labels, actualization of unpleasant memories, provoking conflict situations, mockery, devaluation, etc.) inevitably leads to negative consequences and poses an emotional danger for students. Nonviolent communication is a key aspect of partnership pedagogy and an integral component of the New Ukrainian School. The author's vision of M.

The structural components and main steps of effective nonviolent communication are highlighted. The experience of using the method of nonviolent communication in the development of emotional intelligence of students of the specialty 013 Primary education of Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University is presented.
