Document Summary
At 1 yr. infants are first aware that others impose demands on them. Age 3 can devise plans to regulate their beh. During school kids become better able to control their beh. Children differ in their sc but individuals are fairly consistent over time: preschoolers who have good sc tend to become adolescents and adults with good sc. Kids who have the best sc tend to have parents who are loving, set limits, and discuss discipline with them. When parents are overly strict, their kids have less sc, not more. With temperamentally fearful kids, gentle reminders are effective; with fearless kids, Temperament helps determine how parents influence their kids sc parents should appeal to the attachment relationship. Emotional toddlers and preschoolers have less sc. Kids are better able to regulate their own beh when they have plans to help them remember the importance of the goal and something to distract them from tempting objects.
