Attentional mechanisms involve the ability to focus attention, ignore distractions, and shift attention when needed. Caregivers can assist young children in self-regulation by diverting their attention or engaging them in activities that require focused attention. This can help children to manage their emotions and behavior. Cognitive mechanisms relate to thinking and problem-solving, memory mechanisms refer to remembering and recalling information, and social mechanisms involve understanding and responding to social cues and expectations, which are less likely to be primary methods for caregivers to assist young children with self-regulation.
