Self-Regulation Consultation (face to face)

Self-regulation is an essential part of a child’s learning and development. Children’s responses to experiences and people form an important part of social development. The ability to respond appropriately also contributes to future academic progress. Building relationships with the children and their families can assist educators in planning appropriate experiences to guide development.

This topic aims to develop an understanding of the five major domains of self-regulation –what they are, what they look like in your environment and what educators can do to support children’s developing self-regulation abilities and guide best practice.
