"What Is Self-Regulation?
Just about everywhere you turn these days you come across someone talking about the
importance of enhancing children’s ability to self-regulate. This is because of a growing
number of studies showing that self-regulation lays a foundation for a child’s long-term
physical, psychological, behavioral, and educational well-being (Shanker, 2012). What
isn’t quite so clear, however, is what exactly self-regulation is, and what sorts of things
parents, caregivers and early childhood educators can do to enhance a child’s ability
to self-regulate. "
