Self -regulation

It is important for you to begin this process very early by communicating with  your baby . You may be asking what is self-regulation -It is the ability to manage your urges and emotions . This  begins when the baby is young and cries because they have a need and once you respond to their need in a timely manner they soon learn that waiting a little time their need will be met . For example - the baby is crying and you will say "John I am making your bottle" and let the child see that you are making after a few experiences with this activity the baby begins to learn trust ,begins to learn that she can wait a little because her needs will be met . As the baby gets older she will be able to wait a little because she has now understand the language that goes with the action . As you can see language and comprehension plays a big role in helping children to learn self-regulation . Once children make the connection between language and actions they begin to develop comprehension skills.

Guidance -Social skills

On Sunday July 24th I was at a play ground in NYC . There were several children in the play ground and one of them had a balloon  one child walked over and tried to touch her balloon . No one is going to touch my balloon she yelled at the top of her voice. The child was startled  and  looked confused.
The adult that was with the screaming child did not provide guidance  by  giving  the child language to use . The child clearly has an emotional challenge ,lacks  social skills and need guidance .It is critical that adults help young children to manage big emotions  .
