Self-Regulation |
Regardless of a
child’s unique qualities, one thing remains the same; to improve learning and
behavior, children must develop strong self-regulation skills. Read the article
from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), “Developing Young Children’s Self-Regulation Through Everyday
Experiences.”
The marshmallow experiment is a famous test conducted by Walter Mischel at
Stanford University and discussed by Daniel Goleman in his popular work. In the
1960s, a group of four-year-olds were given a marshmallow and promised another
only if they could wait 20 minutes before eating the first one. Some children
could wait and others could not. The researchers then followed the progress of
each child into adolescence, and demonstrated that those with the ability to
wait were better adjusted and more dependable (determined via surveys of their
parents and teachers), and scored an average of 210 points higher on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test. Read the American Psychological Association (APA)
article, "Delaying
Gratification (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.."
Reflect on the information in the NAEYC article, the article, and your text and
explain how toddlers with better self-regulation skills are less likely to
demonstrate behavior problems in preschool. Explain why these self-regulation
skills are so important and how you will promote the learning of
self-regulation. How will you deliberately teach self-regulation as part of
everyday experience? Share an example of your own self-regulation skills that
you can model for others.
Guided
Response:
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Review all of your
classmates’ posts and respond to at least two classmates by Day 7. Suggest
additional ways self-regulation skills are important. Reflect on the
instructional strategies your classmates will use to teach self-regulation and
offer additional strategies that you believe will work well.
