Self-regulation skills, including self-control, help us reach our goals, learn in school and get along with others. Millions of children struggle to develop them. We talk to experts for strategies to teach these skills — and get some very special help from Cookie Monster. Here’s what to remember: – Look at self-regulation as a skill that can be learned and practiced. – Teach children to calm themselves. – Use your imagination to reframe a temptation. – What would Batman do? Kids can channel their heroes to make it easier to live up to their values. – Be strategic about distractions. – Build self-regulation skills with activities like martial arts or music lessons.
