Description: This resource explores the development of self-regulation in young children and its role in lifelong success. It highlights how self-regulation is influenced by individual factors (biology, skills, motivation) and external factors (caregiver support, environment). The report emphasizes the importance of co-regulation, where caregivers help children manage emotions and behaviors through supportive interactions. Additionally, it discusses how stress and adversity can impact self-regulation but can be mitigated through targeted interventions and supportive environments.
