Understanding this should make it easier for parents to try and understand their child.

    A). Emotional regulation is a process through which emotions are monitored, appraised, and modified in relation to goals (Gross, 381). Emotions that are regulated can either be positive or negative, such as joy, pleasure, distress, anger and fear (Gross, 314).

Self-regulation during the first three years of life develops as the child learns appropriate reactions to different situations and also is based on the development of language skills and memory.…
