    What is self-regulation and why should I care?

    Self-regulation is the current “buzzword” for parents and educators.  Teaching jargon can be annoying when it doesn’t have a context or seems trendy.  In my opinion, though, self-regulation is the most important concept I have learned in 15 years as a teacher.  It has helped me on a daily basis as a parent and in group teaching situations.
