How Caring Relationships Support Self-Regulation

Self-regulation, the ability to monitor, evaluate, and modify emotions and behavior, is vital to the achievement of coping skills and lifelong competence.

How Caring Relationships Support Self-Regulation combines current research on self-regulation, brain development, and caregiver practice. The premise is that self-regulation is central to emotional, social, and cognitive development of young children and that secure adult-child relationships are critical to the development of self-regulation.

Designed for anyone responsible for the care of young children, the video shows many scenes of children experiencing a range of emotions and of care-givers applying supportive practices in a variety of settings.

The video is in seven sections:

1. Definition of Self-Regulation (SR),
2. Brain Development and SR,
3. Caregiver-Child Relationships and the Development of SR,
4. Caregiver Practice: Infants,
5. Caregiver Practice: Toddlers,
6. Caregiver Practice: Preschoolers, and
7. Caregiver Practice: School-age children.

The Guide reviews all the topics in the video, a discussion of implications for child-care curriculum, suggestions for video presentations, and masters for handouts.
