Science Daily posted a very informative article about research done in Asia on early childhood self-regulation. Basically, the research found that while in the U.S. it is common for boys aged 3-6 to have self-regulation problems compared to girls, in Asia there is no difference.
You may have heard that people live up, or down, to the expectations placed on them. This appears to be true for children in Asia. There appears to be no expectation that boys will behave any differently in terms of self-regulation from girls, at least in the home.
Maybe we need to expect more from our boys.
