The role of the microsystem in shaping children’s effortful control is
important and parents play a critical role. After reading the text and
viewing the “Life at 3: Bad Behavior” video, address the following:

  1. What would you recommend to a parent who asks you
    what he or she can do to promote his or her preschool child’s
    self-regulation skills?
  2. Now turning to the mesosystem, identify examples of influences on the child’s effortful control you can share with the parent.  
  3. Provide examples of influences on children’s
    effortful control that you have observed in your own family and other
    families who are close to you.
