Decades of research have shown that self-regulation is the foundation of healthy human development and learning. Dr. Stuart Shanker (D. Phil.), CEO of the MEHRIT Centre, and one of the world’s leading experts on self-regulation, believes that early educators play a pivotal role in the development of self-regulation in today’s children. This keynote will focus on the importance of self-regulation in the early years, and the unique role played by early childhood educators in fostering self-regulation, and, in some ways, changing the developmental trajectories in today’s children.
