A new federal report recommends that schools emphasize building children's "self-regulation" skills in order to increase opportunities for student success in a number of areas. The recommendation is one of several in the report, the fourth in a series on self-regulation research and practice from the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
Researchers have zeroed in on the importance of self-regulation skills, which allow children to manage their thoughts and feelings, control impulses, and problem-solve.
"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 and lead author of the report. "Unfortunately, prolonged or pronounced stress and adversity, including poverty and trauma, can delay children's self-regulation development."

So, if I smoke and drink too much, but am saving for my pension and assuming a miracle cure for cancer and cirrhosis of the liver in my lifetime, what does that make me?
Or perhaps I'm so scared of Alzheimer's and dementia that I want to make sure I can go out in style drinking and smoking all I want?
So fucking confused. Do I exercise to live long in poverty and insanity or live short in luxury?
