20.01.2022 Little people...big emotions! One of the benefits of attending early education and care is the opportunity it provides for children to learn to self-regulate. What is self regulation? Self-regulation is learning about your own feelings and emotions, understanding how and why they happen, recognising them (and those of others), and developing effective ways of managing them. ... When children and young people learn to self-manage their emotions, they feel more confident, capable and in control. They have stronger relationships, are more able to pay attention, learn new things and can cope better with the normal stresses and disappointments of daily life. The below article from BeYou gives tips on how you can support self regulation development for your child. https://beyou.edu.au//social-and-emotional/self-regulation
