Children learn best in environments that focus on both emotional and cognitive development (Ontario, 2013). We know that the healthy development of children can not happen without the positive relationships between children and the adults in their lives (Ontario, 2013) . Healthy and positive relationships between adults and children lead to healthy brain development (Ontario, 2013).

Self-Regulation is an important skill needed for success in learning and future relationships, we as adults can help build on children's self-regulation skills by responding in a nurturing and responsive way  
(OnGov, 2014).

-Be at the child’s level for face-to-face interactions
-Use a pleasant, calm voice and simple language while making eye contact
-Provide warm, responsive physical contact
- Follow the child’s lead and interest during play
 - Help children understand your expectations by providing simple but clear explanations (not by directing)
-When Praising children be specific including details. For example “ I see you’ve picked up all the dolls clothes and put them back, that is great Stevie.” 
(Ontario, 2013)
