Whilst not a new concept, this book aligns the emergence of this terminology in policy and practice and supports the theoretical and conceptual underpinning to strengthen our understanding. This is a text that students from Level 2 and up will find accessible, it provides some challenge to our understanding and therefore will assist practice at whatever level students are.

This books is insightful and will allow students to make coherent links between learning theory, metacognition, executive functioning and self regulation. I will be basing one for of my teaching sessions on this book on a module which encourages young children to be seen as competent and capable learners

This is an excellent read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of self-regulation in children, Particularly suited for anyone working with the revised EYFS framework. The book explores SR in relation to other closely related areas presenting a clear picture of the relationships surrounding policy, curricula and theoretical perspectives. Well presented offering opportunities for reflection and exploration of ideas within practice. A must read for HE students.
