From the neurosciences there are some areas of child psychological development that are the object of especially relevant study due to their direct involvement in childhood neurodevelopmental disorders. One of them is to understand what intelligence and the interconnection with emotions are for neuropsychology. Specifically, we will focus on knowing the role of emotional intelligence and social cognition in its relationship with executive functions (EF), whose alterations and limitations appear transversally in many of the different disorders that children and adolescents attended in the children’s clinic area present. In the following works we address the so-called “Intelligence-Emotion” binomial, attending to the confluence of various factors that may act during its neurodevelopment. In this multidisciplinary scientific analysis, contributions from neuroanatomy, early attention and infant clinical neuropsychology are exposed that show the intelligence-emotion interrelation through the activation of certain neuronal mechanisms connected with the emotional components of the Executive Functions; the usefulness of intervening preventively in early care stimulating emotional intelligence by strengthening ToM and clinical evaluation and intervention in Emotional Intelligence in various neurodevelopmental disorders applying the AVANZA Method, with evaluation and neuropsychological rehabilitation techniques. This integrative vision offers an effective way of working for the clinical neuropsychologist and promotes an optimal neuropsychological development of minors and adaptation in their activities of daily life.
