How can we help kids with self regulation? Self regulation can look like:
-Staying calm when you feel upset
-Stopping to think before acting
-Paying attention
-Staying focused on a goal or plan
-Waiting or delaying gratification
-Adapting to change
-Cooperating with others
As young children develop, parents can model self regulation by:
-Managing our own stress
-Teaching skills for coping
-Having realistic expectations
-Encouraging self control and waiting
-Providing structure for success
-Identifying coping skills: see the Kelso Choice Wheel above!
