Did you know that Developing self-regulation and emotional well-being skills help your child by 12% to have high academic success and decrease by 42% their physical aggression from their peers?

Self-Regulation and emotional well-being are learnings where children can develop and successfully apply knowledge and skills to understand and control thoughts, and emotions, show empathy to others, develop healthy relationships, set positive and realistic goals, and make sound decisions.

As parents or caregivers, after reading this book, you will have a clear answer to these questions:

• How can you promote and support self-regulation in your child's development?
• How can you help your child to build self-discipline?
• What strategy can you use to relax and calm your child while angry?
• How do you manage your child's negative feedback?
• What changes in approach or strategies should you make to develop self-regulation and control in your child?

Self-Regulation for Kids allows them to explore, express, and take control of their big feelings, thoughts, and emotions. When children have difficulty self-regulating, it can make it harder for them to get along with peers and family members, hurt their academic achievement, and inhibit their ability to complete activities of daily living.

Self-regulation in kids is a proactive, self-directed process for attaining goals, learning skills, coping with big feelings & emotions, and managing emotional reactions, which fuels children to become socially and emotionally engaged lifelong learners. It needs an ongoing practice opportunity to develop robust self-regulation.

Did you know that to promote self-regulation in a child, you don't need to avoid difficult situations for kids to handle? But to coach kids and provide a supportive framework, the behavior you want to encourage until they can address these challenges on their own.

When children struggle with self-regulation, it often leads to behavior that makes them feel even worse and creates very stressful situations for other family members.

Self-regulation skills include self-control, self-awareness, emotional management, responsible decision-making, and relationship skills. Learning to be brave and confident and tackle challenges is one of the essential steps in a child's development, and it's never too early to help little ones build those skills to feel good about themselves. 

Developing self-regulation is the seed that teaches children to become less reactive and more proactive in their learning with less frustration and distraction. It leads children to self-confidence and positive self-esteem. Child's minds develop rapidly, and toddlers are well on developing positive self-regulation.

By developing Self-regulation and control, you will learn:

• How to identify and explore their big emotions, unhelpful thoughts, and feelings.
• How to handle children's thoughts, anger, excitement, anxiety, and sadness.
• How to use self-regulation strategies in any naturally occurring situations and learn to calm the child's body.
• How to make a choice and a plan.
• How to identify and be prepared for a condition that may be tricky for them to navigate.

This book is an easy-to-understand guide for parents, filled with engaging scenarios, plans, and methods that show kids how to be mindful to work through challenging emotions and feel happier.

Therefore, if you need a variety of "essentials" to help your kids learn about their thoughts, feelings, behavior, and actions, then this book is for you and every caregiver. Enjoy the read.

Ashkan’s new book, Human Being, will aid you in recognising and removing the unseen impediments to your success, whether you are developing a business, family, relationship, or organisation. Using the information in this book, you will get a brand-new lens that will shift your approach to even your longest standing problems.
