1.How do the caregiving experiences of securely attached infants promote the development of emotional self-regulation?
2.Why is insisting that infants comply with parental directives inappropriate? What competencies are necessary for the emergence of compliance and self control?
Emotional self-regulation is a process which emerges in a livelihood due to two reasons. One is with the developement of prefrontal cortex and teh second is as caregivers sensitively assist their infants in adjusting their emotional reactions. With motor, cognitive and language development and warm parental guidance, children acquire more effective methods of self regulation.
Children who experience intense negative emotion find it harder to inhibit feelings and shift attention away from disturbing events. By the age of 10 years, most children can shift adaptively between problem-centered and emotion-centered coping in order to regulate emotion. Emotionally well-regulated children are optimistic and cooperative and have positive relationships with teachers and peers.
