I knew when and where Rembrandt had painted it. Yet I could have come to the museum every day for years to study that painting and never have discovered its secret. I would always have been standing in the wrong spot. Self-Reg will show you where to stand: how to bring your child’s behavior into focus, respond to your child’s needs, and help your child help himself. It will strengthen your relationships. This is not about getting your child to “behave”—to stop doing or saying things that irritate you or others or create problems for himself.

Self-control is important but not the central organizing feature of a strong, healthy mind and life success. Self-regulation is. Three-Part Harmony: The Triune Brain In the 1960s Paul MacLean, a neuroscientist at Yale, developed a theoretical model of the brain that remains highly instructive. According to his “triune” model, we actually have three distinct brains, each of which evolved at a different time in our evolutionary past and which are layered on top of one another. On top and at the front is, as its name suggests, the “newest” brain, the neocortex.

In fact, the closer you look at these “success stories,” the more you’ll see that what really sets them apart is their remarkable ability to self-regulate. The more aware we are of when we’re becoming overstressed, and know how to break this cycle, the better we self-regulate: in other words, manage the myriad stresses in our lives. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) reacts to stress with metabolic processes that consume energy and then sets in motion compensating processes that promote recovery and growth.
