Self-regulation: A skill to empower children
Self-regulation is the ability to manage emotions and impulses, and to think before you react. Helping students to develop this skill is of utmost importance in our schools today. When children struggle to effectively regulate anxiety or discouragement they may move away from, rather than engage in, challenging learning activities. However, when children are able to regulate uncomfortable emotions, they can relax and focus on the learning at hand.
