In this episode, we speak with Dr. Natalie Brito, an Associate
Professor at New York University, about the early development of
self-regulation. Dr Brito is a developmental psychologist who
examines how early social and cultural contexts shape the
trajectory of neurocognitive development. In this discussion, Dr
Brito discusses how the development of regulation in young children
is intricately related to the supports they receive from
caregivers, and ways that we as parents can support their
development of these skills. She also addresses what are realistic
expectations for self-expectation at different stages in
development.
