Self-regulation is a set of abilities and skills that allow an individual to adjust their emotions, behaviors, and cognitions to meet demands. These sets of skills are obtained over an individual's lifespan, but the acquisition of these skills is highly regarded in early childhood and is a predictor of academic achievement. Students use self-regulation through several methods to monitor, manage, and assess both their behavior and academic achievement. Self-regulation is a large psychological umbrella that includes a wide range of strategies, skills, and cognitive processes appropriate for all ages and abilities. Broadly, this practice guide addresses emotional and behavioral self-regulation development in students within the context of family systems and examines the contribution of cultural influences. Additionally, evidence supports teaching these skills together rather than as independent domains.
