This book aids students and practitioners in Early Childhood Studies by exploring the concept of self-regulation, its significance for child development, and the role of relationships in fostering it.

Self-Regulation in the Early Years is a comprehensive resource designed for students and practitioners in Early Childhood Studies, Early Years education, and related fields. This book delves into the concept of self-regulation, offering insights supported by research from cognitive, developmental, and behavioral psychology, as well as neuroscience. It emphasizes the significance of self-regulation in early childhood and highlights the crucial role that educators play in fostering this skill among young children.

The text outlines the foundational aspects of self-regulation and its impact on various areas of child development, including social, emotional, and cognitive growth. It discusses key contexts in which self-regulation is developed, particularly through play and communication. By examining these contexts, the book provides practical guidance for educators on how to create environments that nurture self-regulatory behaviors in children.

Furthermore, the book encourages readers to recognize the importance of self-regulation in contemporary educational policies and curricula worldwide. It addresses the social, emotional, and behavioral dimensions of self-regulation, emphasizing the value of relationships—both between children and adults and among peers. Through effective observation and documentation practices, educators can better support the development of self-regulation in young children, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being and success in learning.
