Self-regulation, the ability to effectively recognize, control, and manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, is an essential piece of healthy development in early childhood and beyond. Self-regulation skills help individuals to learn, form relationships with others, cope with stress, manage behavior, and succeed academically and professionally. In this webinar we unpacked the importance of self-regulation, as well as explored what it looks like and how it is best supported across ages and developmental stages. We discussed practices informed by current research for teaching and supporting self-regulation in children. Additionally, we shared VLS resources and highlighted leadership’s role in fostering the self-regulation skills of their program staff.
