Self Regulation

According to Canadian research professor, Dr. Stuart Shanker, self-regulation is about understanding and dealing with stress. It is important to consider how we respond to stress and evaluate what causes immediate stress, as well as underlying factors that are unique to each person.

 

Parents/caregivers play a very important role in teaching, modeling and supporting their children to name feelings, understand that all feelings are normal and find healthy ways of coping with stress.
