- understand why self-regulation is increasingly evident in policy and curricular around the world
- focus on social, emotional, behavioural and cognitive aspects of self-regulation
- enhance impact through close working with parents and guardians

This book was chosen to help with teaching my students about self-regulation in the early years, This book was really usefull and I found that the way this is set out very useful and easy to go back to with each area I am wanting to read. The research and activity boxes we explained and outlined well.
Not received the inspection copy
Whilst not a new concept, this book aligns the emergence of this terminology in policy and practice and supports the theoretical and conceptual underpinning to strengthen our understanding. This is a text that students from Level 2 and up will find accessible, it provides some challenge to our understanding and therefore will assist practice at whatever level students are.
THIS BOOK NEVER ARRIVED FOR REVIEW SO CAN'T BE EVALUATED AT THIS MOMENT
This books is insightful and will allow students to make coherent links between learning theory, metacognition, executive functioning and self regulation. I will be basing one for of my teaching sessions on this book on a module which encourages young children to be seen as competent and capable learners
This is an excellent read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of self-regulation in children, Particularly suited for anyone working with the revised EYFS framework. The book explores SR in relation to other closely related areas presenting a clear picture of the relationships surrounding policy, curricula and theoretical perspectives. Well presented offering opportunities for reflection and exploration of ideas within practice. A must read for HE students.
An informative book, this is essential in the current climate of early years.
Fits very well with our module content
Excellent book on topic - really helpful reflection points
