Does this self-regulation idea apply to young language learners?

[@bLueCL25]

Totally, as a vyl and yl English teacher and a parenting coach, I start teaching my students how to self-regulate from the age of 3. We do it by introducing feelings vocabulary, naming our emotions and learning very simple tools and games that help them learn how to deal with these emotions, how to process them. It's also great fun connecting those tools with teaching pron. Breathing exercises, phonological awareness and pronunciation go hand in hand for little ones 😊

@bLueCL25 Thank you very much for your kind response. What do you mean when you say you have 3 year old kids as a student? From what age can we start teaching a second language?

@@TheRos1369 exactly what I said. That I have students who are 3 years old. They are my youngest students but you can teach kids even younger. I have a friend teacher who teaches 2 year olds. She has a program for kids and their parents, and she teaches them English through songs.
