Join Mom Crew and Dr. Catherine Tamis-LeMonda of NYU's BabyChildTeen research cohort for a fascinating talk on tantrums, discipline, parenting practices and more.

Learning to self-regulate behaviors and emotions helps children develop the social and emotional skills they will need to succeed in school, cope with stress, and develop positive peer relationships. This workshop on self-regulation and discipline will present evidence-based strategies for teaching children to regulate their behaviors and emotions and ways to respond and acknowledge emotions—including strategies for dealing with tantrums. We will discuss the parenting practices that best promote self- regulation (and the ones that don’t), using concrete examples that parents will recognize from their daily lives. We will also explore the impact a parent can have as a positive role-model by practicing self-control and emotional honesty in their own interactions with their children.

This a free event, but RSVPs are required by 11pm on Tuesday, June 2. I’ll send out an email to everyone who signs up ahead of time with instructions for joining via Zoom from your computer, tablet or phone.

About Dr. Catherine Tamis-LeMonda

I conduct my research at NYU Steinhardt's Play and Language Lab, where we examine infant and toddler learning and development in social and cultural contexts. I seek to understand how developing skills across a variety of domains reciprocally affect one another concurrently and over time (the theoretical construct of “developmental cascades”). In particular, we study language, communication, and play/exploratory behaviors, and how mothers’ and fathers’ interactions with children –such as contingent responsiveness and richness of child-directed language – relate to children’s developmental trajectories and, conversely, how emerging skills in children influence their everyday learning experiences and interactions with parents. We examine these bi-directional processes in children from diverse economic and ethnic backgrounds using longitudinal analyses, naturalistic observations at home, laboratory studies, and interviews with parents. Our research team includes undergraduates, Masters students, PhD candidates, and postdoctoral fellows who share a commitment to advancing a nuanced understanding of how learning and development unfolds in different cultural and ethnic groups in the United States and internationally.
