The goal of this randomized trial is to examine the effects of a body-oriented intervention program on preschoolers' social-emotional competence. The main question it aims to answer are: does OUT to IN effectively promotes preschoolers' self-awareness, self-regulation, relationship skills and motor competence? Participants are children between 3 and 6 years from portuguese preschools. The inclusion criteria are (a) participants' age between 3 and 6 years, (b) do not have participated in a similar intervention program within the last 6 months, and (c) do not have a physical condition that can affect the participation in the program. Children will be randomly allocated to the experimental group (who will participate in a 10-week intervention program with biweekly sessions of psychomotricity implemented outdoors) and to the control group (who will maintain their usual routines).
