Community Paediatric Review

Latest edition: Child behaviour and emotional regulation

Vol 24 No. 2, May 2016

As children grow and develop, they learn to regulate their emotions and manage their behaviour. On the way to learning those skills, young children express their wide range of emotional responses in ways that can create stress and anxiety for parents and caregivers – sometimes their behaviour will include aggression, defiance and/or hyperactivity.

Child and family health nurses can play an important role in helping parents to nurture their child’s developing mind and, along the way, help their children to develop their emotional regulation skills.
