In this episode, we speak with Dr. Natalie Brito, an Associate Professor at New York University, about the early development of self-regulation. Dr Brito is a developmental psychologist who examines how early social and cultural contexts shape the trajectory of neurocognitive development. In this discussion, Dr Brito discusses how the development of regulation in young children is intricately related to the supports they receive from caregivers, and ways that we as parents can support their development of these skills. She also addresses what are realistic expectations for self-expectation at different stages in development.
