Amanda Sheffield Morris

I looked at a landmark article on the importance of parental modeling to children's emotional regulation.

In 2007, Amanda Sheffield Morris and her team of researchers published a literature review called The Role of the Family Context in the Development of Emotion Regulation, and this was in the journal Social Development.

The authors underscored the importance of family role modeling to children's development of emotional regulation.

I know this can seem like a tall order, but I also find comfort in the thought of being a role model for our kids, of the ups as well as the downs of life.
