„Self-regulation skills and attributes are critical for success in school and life, and there is a strong evidence base to support their vital contribution to short- and long-term social, emotional, cognitive, academic, financial, and health outcomes. Self-regulation skills are important prerequisites for skills associated with school readiness and higher-order learning, including decision making, problem solving, self-direction and organization, metacognition, learning from educational experience and practice, conflict resolution, perseverance, and resilience. Self-regulation-related skills also have powerful interpersonal implications, including promoting better relationships with teachers and peers and being seen by teachers as evidence of greater academic and social competence. More broadly, self-regulation skills are associated with greater engagement in school, increased likelihood of graduating from college, and better health and wealth in adulthood.“
