The Science of Self-Regulation: Understanding Development and Supporting Growth
Jun 26, 2025
Join Dr. Jennie Grammer between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. for an engaging session on the science of self-regulation—how we manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors across childhood and adolescence. Drawing on research from neuroscience, education, and developmental psychology, this talk will unpack the building blocks of self-regulation, including executive functions, emotion regulation, and behavior. Dr. Grammer will explore how these skills develop over time, how they’re shaped by context and individual differences, and why they matter for learning, behavior, and well-being. Participants will leave with practical insights into how to support self-regulation through developmentally informed, evidence-based strategies.
