Self-reg : how to help your child (and you) break the stress cycle and successfully engage with life / Stuart Shanker. by Shanker, Stuart. Penguin Random House Canada, 2016. Call #: 155.41825 S528s Subjects Self-control in children.   Stress in children.   Child rearing. ISBN:  9780143191575 9780670068296 (hc.) Description:  307 p. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 287-295) and index. Summary:  "There is no such thing as a bad kid. According to York University psychologist Stuart Shanker, even the most frustrating, annoying or troubling behaviour has an explanation. There is a way to make things better. For every child and every adult the ability to thrive -- to complete tasks, form friendships, learn, and even love -- depends on being able to self-regulate. The ability to self-regulate in response to stress is central. Looking at a child's behaviour through the lens of self-regulation makes us discard the knee-jerk reaction that a child who is having trouble paying attention, controlling his impulses, or who gives up easily on a difficult task, is somehow weak or lacks self-discipline or is not making a great enough effort to apply himself. According to Shanker, the ability to deal effectively with stress is limited, though. Like a tank of gas, our energy reserves eventually dwindle, leaving a kid or an adult simply unable to control his or her impulses. Misbehaving kids aren't choosing to be difficult. They literally can't help themselves. And what draws down our reserves? Excessive stress. Stress of all kinds, from social anxiety to an uncomfortable chair. Reduce the stress loads, and problems quickly dissipate. Dr. Stuart Shanker is a professor of Philosophy and Psychology at York University in Toronto. He is CEO of The MEHRIT Centre, which is working with school boards across Canada to implement Self-Reg in teacher and parent education."--Provided by publisher.
