Self-regulation refers to students’ ability to manage their emotions, behaviors, and impulses to respond appropriately to different situations. Students with strong self-regulation skills can better manage stress, frustration, and distractions, allowing them to focus, participate in learning, and build positive relationships with peers and teachers. This ability is closely tied to social-emotional success, as it helps students navigate social interactions and regulate their emotions, and academic success, allowing them to remain focused, follow directions, and persist through challenges. Teaching students self-regulation skills equips them with tools to manage their feelings and actions, support their emotional well-being, improve peer relationships, and enhance learning outcomes.
