My research
I am interested in self-regulation – the regulation of one’s own behaviour, emotions and thoughts. - How does self-regulation develop in the early years of life? - What role do parents and the environment play in this? - What is the significance of self-regulation for healthy development in high-risk circumstances? - Risk factors may include: health-related (e.g. preterm birth, obesity), social or cultural (e.g. poverty, displacement), or psychological (e.g. ADHD)?
