Associations between language and communication skills and self-regulation
What is it about?
How prelinguistic communication skills (around 1 to 2 years of age) such as gestures, social communication and play skills are associated with later self-regulation skills (around age 5).
Why is it important?
Late talking without other concomitant difficulties seemed to lead to weaker self-regulation skills overall. Slow development in all communication skills showed more specific connections to regulation ability.
