Discussion Post: Control
The role of the microsystem in shaping children's effortful control is important and parents play a critical role. After reading the text and viewing the "Life at 3: Bad Behavior" video, address the following:
• What would you recommend to a parent who asks you what he or she can do to promote his or her preschool child's self-regulation skills?
• Now turning to the mesosystem, identify examples of influences on the child's effortful control you can share with the parent.
• Provide examples of influences on children's effortful control that you have observed in your own family and other families who are close to you.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
