In this episode we are talking about self-regulation as one of the core skills our children will need for the future. No matter what the future brings, no matter what they choose to do with their lives, they will need self-regulation. 

 

Regardless of what life throws their way, they will manage just fine, if they have the skill of self-regulation. 

 

Think about it… What can you really do, if you cannot manage yourself? Hardly anything. In order to be able to engage in productive action, we must be able to regulate ourselves. That means being in charge of our emotions, our thoughts, and our behaviors. 

 

The same applies to our children.

They need the same skills. 

 

Self-regulation depends on self-awareness. To make it more likely that things go our way, it helps to know who we are, what we need, and how to go about it. Not an easy task for a child. In fact it is a lifelong process, and so it helps if we are there by their side, helping and guiding.
