Self-regulation: Supporting children to develop this important life skill 

As our children grow under our guidance and loving care, we help them to learn how to eat well, exercise, get enough rest, manage their emotions and gain the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the world safely and happily. Overtime, the aim is for parents and carers to “do ourselves out of a job” as our children learn to take care of their own physical, emotional, social and psychological wellbeing so they’re ready to leave home and lead their own lives. Supporting children to learn to self-regulate is key to life success. 

In this webinar, parenting expert Dr Rosina McAlpine shares: 

• What self-regulation is 
• The benefits of this important skill for children 
• Brain development and self-regulation 
• Examples of self-regulation in relation to:
• Emotions 
• Psychological wellbeing 
• Managing behaviours 
• Strategies to support children to develop the ability to self-regulate 
• Question and answer session 

By attending this session, parents and carers have a better understanding of the many benefits of self-regulation with practical ways to support their children to learn this important skill for life success. 

Self-regulation: Supporting children to develop this important life skill will be held at 1pm on Thursday 19 October 2023.
