Cognitive development – learning, knowing and problem-solving
Published in Ajay Sharma, Helen Cockerill, Lucy Sanctuary, Mary Sheridan's From Birth to Five Years, 2021
Ajay Sharma, Helen Cockerill, Lucy Sanctuary
Severe cognitive difficulties are often, though not invariably, associated with poor language and problems of emotional self-regulation. Forming the most effective approach for helping the child requires a combination of the following: assessment of abilities across all domains of development,observations of the child's functional competence,understanding the psycho-social environment, andconsidering the temperament and interests of the child.
The human work of art
Published in Antonella Sansone, Cultivating Mindfulness to Raise Children Who Thrive, 2020
The abilities fostered by wisdom practices can improve emotional self-regulation and self-empowerment skills. Researchers have found a correlation between deeper connectedness between people and increased heart-based coherence. They recorded a number of instances in which a loving mother’s brain waves synchronised to her baby’s heartbeats and where happy couples’ heart rhythms synchronised with each other when sleeping together (McCraty, 2004). This coherent communication between mother and baby reflects not only a physiological/emotional synchronisation or co-regulation but also in the mother’s mindful holding of her baby. Her muscular tension while rocking, singing a lullaby or holding her baby organises in the baby the psychophysiological foundations of human relationships (Persico, 2002).
All Brief Therapy is Not Created Equal

Problems with emotional self-regulation are a central difficulty for many people with mental health problems and are common in inpatient settings. Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (Linehan, 1993) teaches skills that help clients manage distressing emotions. DBT emotional self-regulation skills and related skills from other therapies can be taught in a brief group format and will benefit a wide variety of clients who would not usually be considered for the full DBT program. These are sometimes called “Dealing with Distress” (DWD) programs.

Some study limitations should be considered when interpreting the results. First, the type of study is an observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study, with small sample size. Therefore, caution should be taken when interpreting the results and trying to generalize them because they could not be fully representative of the population studied. Second, the sample was obtained using non-probability convenience sampling. However, this type of sampling has been considered useful in an exploratory study such as ours (Hernández et al., 2010). Third, sociodemographic data, such as profession, were not collected, and it would be interesting for future studies to include this information as well as occupational preferences and interests, occupational balance, or meaningful activities. Fourth, the type of instruments used for the evaluation of sensory processing does not allow the capture of interoceptive self-perception, understood as the afferent information whose origin is inside the body, such as heartbeat perception, which affects the cognition or behavior and the emotional experience (Ainley et al., 2013), and could be relevant in this type of patient. Thus, future studies could add a measure that examines self-perception. Fifth, the emotional self-regulation strategies were not evaluated, which could mediate between Low Registration, Sensory Sensitivity, Sensation Avoiding, and quality of life. Future studies should include the study of emotional self-regulation strategies used by the patients.
Predicting caregiver burden over the first 4 months after acute traumatic brain injury in Latin America: a multi-country study
Published in Brain Injury, 2021
Mickeal Pugh, Paul B. Perrin, Juan Carlos Arango-Lasprilla
A significant effect of time with a negative b-weight suggested that caregiver burden decreased across the discharge, 2-month, and 4-month data collection sessions (p < .001). Additionally, sex and poor social and emotional self-regulation were statistically significant main effects. Male caregivers had higher burden scores over time than female caregivers (p = .003; Figure 1). For reference, a cross-tabulation of ZBI scores broken down by severity category and sex at each time period appear in Table 5, identifying where these sex differences likely occurred. Caregivers who provided care for an individual with TBI who had poorer social and emotional self-regulation at discharge reported higher burden scores over time (p = .027; Figure 2). Out of the two possible interactions in the follow-up HLMs (time*sex, p = .624; time*poor social and emotional self-regulation, p = .103; Table 4), neither was statistically significant, suggesting there was no differential change of burden scores over time as a function of caregiver sex or patient poor social and emotional self-regulation.

Emotional self-regulation. Emotional self-regulation was assessed with the BRIEF Parent Form emotional control subscale (mean 50, SD 10) and the Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERCL),52,56 a 24-item questionnaire rated on a 4-point Likert scale (0–3) and generating two subscales: emotional regulation and negativity-lability. Higher scores on the emotion regulation scale reflect more adaptive emotional self-regulation, whereas higher scores in the negativity-lability scale indicate poor emotional self-regulation.56 Although raw scores are not directly interpretable, high or low scores can give an appraisal of emotional regulation. The ERCL has been proved valid and reliable (α = 0.85).56 In the emotional control subscale from the BRIEF, scores >65 indicate significant dysfunction.52
