Section CLIX-707 - Self-Regulation: Managing Behavior and Emotions

A. Early childhood is a time when young children are learning to manage their impulses, desires, and emotions. Very young children (infants and toddlers) often need the support of caregivers who can provide comfort and help to soothe distressed feelings in order to learn how to regulate their emotions. As children get older, their ability to regulate and manage emotions develops some, but they often still have difficulties controlling their feelings. Parents and early childhood you may be able to help children learn to focus their attention, follow rules and guidelines, get along with others (e.g., learning to share), and manage their emotions or express feelings in an acceptable ways (e.g., expressing anger with words rather than hitting). Still, this is an area that can be challenging for young children, so they need consistent guidance as they learn to manage their behaviors and emotions.
