Recent advances in developmental
neuroscience are dramatically altering attitudes towards the possibility of
maximizing the educational potential of every child. Scientists now understand
that the better children can self-regulate, the better they can rise to the
challenge of mastering ever more complex skills and concepts. But what exactly
is self-regulation, how does it develop, why do some children struggle with it,
and what can schools do to enhance its development?
Using the Shanker Self-Reg framework this
presentation will provide an introduction to Self-Reg and discuss:
- the impact of an excessive stress load on energy, mood and behaviour
- the limbic system and the brain
- the five domains of Self-Reg: biological, emotion, cognitive,
social and pro-social
- the difference between self-regulation and self-control
- individual differences in stress reactivity, including differences
between stress behaviour and misbehaviour
- what you can do to enhance other's self-regulation
