ABSTRACT
Many children struggle to regulate their own behavior and emotions. They frustrate quickly, give up easily, say or do things that they know are inappropriate, and have trouble following through with tasks, despite good intentions. Without the ability to self-regulate, children are unable to fully demonstrate their knowledge and meet their potential. By modifying the way we give directions, developing supportive routines, and teaching strategies for time management and self-monitoring, we can help children perform in a manner that will lead to greater academic and social success.
