Self-regulation brings about profound and lasting transformation that continues throughout life.
It can Help children to feel empathy, and to cultivate the sorts of virtues that most parents know are vital for their child\'s long-term wellbeing.
Self-regulation can dramatically improve a child\'s mood, attention, and concentration.
An entrenched view of Child rearing sees our children as lacking self-control or willpower, but the real basis for these problems lies in excessive stress.
But few parents recognize the hidden stressors that their children are struggling with: physiological as well as social and emotional.
We are seeing a generation of children and teens with excessively high levels of stress, and, as a result, an explosion of emotional, social, learning, behavior, and physical health problems.
Self-regulation is the nervous system\'s way of responding to stress.
Shanker, Self-Reg realigns the power of the parent-Child relationship for positive change.
Grounded in decades of research and working with children and parents by Dr.
Self-Reg is a groundbreaking book that presents an entirely new understanding of Your child\'s emotions and behavior and a practical guide for parents to Help their kids Engage calmly and Successfully in learning and life.
Overturning decades of conventional wisdom, this radical new technique allows children and the adults who care for them to regain their composure and peace of mind.
No matter how difficult, out of control, distracted, or exhausted a Child might seem, there\'s a way forward: self-regulation.
