Supporting toddlers with self-regulation.

Supporting toddlers with self-regulation is a vital part of early childhood development. Self-regulation—the ability to manage emotions, behaviours, and responses—lays a foundation for long-term social, emotional, and academic success. For young toddlers, who are still developing language and self-awareness, learning to self-regulate can be challenging. This post provides insights into why self-regulation is essential and explores strategies, tools, and methods—including the use of picture cards and visual objects—to support young children in building these skills both at home and in early learning environments.
