How Can We Help Kids with Self-Regulation?
Self-regulation is the ability to manage your emotions and behavior in accordance with the demands of the situation. It includes being able to resist highly emotional reactions to upsetting stimuli, to calm yourself down when you get upset, to adjust to a change in expectations, and to handle frustration without an outburst. It is a set of skills that enables children, as they mature, to direct their own behavior towards a goal, despite the unpredictability of the world and our own feelings.
To be successful, students must learn how to self-regulate their behavior. Four self-regulation strategies and other tips for parents and caregivers are highlighted in this self-regulation article.
