Self-Regulation in Adolescence
Captions available
The idea
Self-regulation, managing behaviour and emotion without outside help, rises across adolescence with the maturing of frontal and limbic systems.
In practice
A teen persisting at a hard task, delaying gratification, and asking for help when frustrated.
Where people slip
Parent–teen relationships and self-regulation influence each other, as do friendships; caregivers withdraw support gradually.
