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."

    being taught with a paddle or a belt. It's served me well in life, though I probably could have used a few more swats.

    And the mighty butthurt comes out in favor of beating children.
    Who would have guessed he would advocate for doing to helpless children what would be considered a felony if done to an adult?

    Corporal punishment done correctly is not abuse, it is punctuation to the lesson being taught.
