Self-regulation logo

Self-regulation

Self-regulation is the ability to manage one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in order to adapt to situations and achieve goals. Unlike self-control, which is mainly about stopping certain actions, self-regulation is about finding balance between inner states and external demands. It develops through cognitive, emotional, and physiological processes, with attention, inhibition, and working memory playing key roles. Early interactions with parents and the environment are essential, and first signs of self-regulation can be seen already in infancy.
