Abstract

In humans, inhibition of innate impulse response is the starting point for the development of executive functions. Social information processing and language are very important in this development. Executive functions have a great influence on school learning. Early childhood education is the best time to encourage self-regulation behavior.

Gradual intervention systems organize the educational goals and provide appropriate assistance for each student. The article offers an educational approach aimed at promoting the acquisition of skills for self-regulation and self-control during early childhood.
