Nurturing Self-Regulation in Early Childhood
Adopting an Ethos and Approach
About This Book
Nurturing Self-Regulation in Early Childhood explores how young children develop self-regulation and offers practical guidance on helping them to manage their feelings and behaviour. It considers the skills, attitudes and dispositions children need to be able to self-regulate and how their wellbeing and self-esteem can affect their ability to do this.
Grimmer and Geens show how schools and settings can adopt an ethos where self-regulation permeates their whole provision. Considering the broad and multifaceted nature of self-regulation and how this key area of development shapes children and their learning, the chapters cover:
- developing empathy
- emotion coaching
- the practitioner as a co-regulator
- executive function and the sense of self and wellbeing
- international approaches to promoting self-regulation
- the role of the adult and environment in encouraging skills for self-regulation
- working effectively with parents and carers to ensure a consistent approach
With a focus on developmentally appropriate expectations, this book is essential reading for all early childhood educators who want to develop their understanding of self-regulation and embrace an approach that underpins their practice and changes children's lives.
