Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process of developing the self-awareness, self-regulation, and interpersonal skills that are vital for school, work, and life success. People with strong social-emotional skills are better able to cope with everyday challenges and benefit academically, professionally, and socially.

Self-control is primarily a skill that kids use to to inhibit or manage problems only when they arise.. Kids use it to keep their behavior, emotions and impulses in check. It is important to teach self control to kids.
Self-regulation is a different sort of skill. It reduces the frequency and intensity of strong impulses by helping the kids to manage their emotions, behavior and body movement when they’re faced with a situation that’s tough to handle. And it allows them to do that while still staying focused and paying attention.
That means kids know how to figure out that they need to calm themselves down when they get upset. They’re able to be flexible when expectations change, and they can resist giving in to frustrated outbursts. This skill develops over time.

Teaching kids to have self-regulation is one of the most important character traits we can teach. Experts believe that kids who master self-regulation become masters of their learning, are more critical thinkers, and make healthier choices; and the benefits are life-long.
As parents, I am sure we have observed that little kids have very minimal self-regulation and older kids have some! We adults have developed this self-regulation over time. While it is something that develops as we mature, should we leave the ability to self-regulate up to nature alone, or is there something we could do at home to help kids develop or strengthen this important skill?

𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: I've interchangeable used the terms self-regulation and self-control only for the sake of understanding. As Dr. Stuart Shanker says, "𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡.
