(Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute) 'Self-regulation affects wellbeing across the lifespan, from mental health and emotional wellbeing to academic achievement, physical health, and socioeconomic success,' said Desiree Murray, associate director of research at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute. 'There are two crucial periods when children are developing their self-regulation skills the most -- in early childhood and early adolescence -- when teachers and parents can help them build the skills they need for the rest of their lives.'
