Strong self-regulation in early childhood is a key predictor of academic and social success from elementary school through college (McClelland et al., 2012). This study analyzed the influence of the age of the child’s parent on the child’s self-regulation as measured by the HTKS (Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders) measure. Relations between children’s self-regulation...

Findings suggested that assets such as high self-regulation in the fall of prekindergarten were significantly related...

According to recent research, children’s learning related skills, such as cooperation, self-regulation, responsibility, and independence, are closely related to their academic outcomes (McClelland, Acock, Morrison 2006).
